Pristine nature, a clean environment and our wealth of forests gave Styria the name „the green heart of Austria“. Drinking water directly from the tap, pure air and clean towns are par for the course in Styria – thanks to environmental awareness, sustainability and resource management. In Styria these are not just slogans, rather a way of life!

Austria/Styria has a very high level of economic and political stability and a traditionally excellent global image. The country was ranked 3rd among the world’s 10 safest countries, defeated only by Iceland and Denmark. 1,000 leading global managers give Austria, and its south-eastern province, top security marks.

From the highest peak, the Dachstein glacier, to the rolling hills of the Southern wine country: Styria is associated with versatile and pristine nature – no wonder it has been referred to as The Green Heart of Austria and Europe. Large forests provide clean air, whereas remote alpine regions still remain unspoiled.

UNESCO world cultural heritage, City of Human Rights, UNESCO City of Design, European Capital of Culture – only a few catch phrases to characterize the Styrian capital. "You might not expect to find such a cultivated metropolis two hours down the road from Vienna, but Graz has a palpable joie de vivre", writes the New York Times.
