Graz is a university city in southern Austria, built on both banks of the River Mur. Its old town survived intact with its red tiled roofs and entered the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1999, while the clock tower that serves as the city's emblem remains on the Schlossberg above the centre. Graz is also a UNESCO City of Design, a side represented by the artificial island in the river and the bulbous art museum. Pegasus and SunExpress fly direct from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen and from Antalya, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 2 hours 15 minutes.
