Graz is the capital of Steiermark (Styria), a federal state in southeastern Austria. It is the second largest city in Austria and lies on the Mur River, between the Styrian Alps and the Grazerfeld, a wide, fertile basin. A rocky cone, Schlossberg ("Castle Hill"), dominates the city. Graz is approximately 95 miles (155 km) south-southwest of Vienna and is considered the gateway to the Balkans.
