    Christkindlmarkt am Hauptplatz

    A particular nice place to drink punch is in front of the Graz City Hall, the façade of which is transformed into a huge Advent calendar during the nights from 18 November to 23 December 2022. And the world’s largest ice crib in the courtyard of the Landhaus is just a few metres away.

Imperial cuisine

From imperial rolls to imperial pancakes

There are many anecdotes about the famous Austrian “Kaiserschmarren”, a traditional pancake dish. One of them goes as follows: in 1854 the Viennese court pâtissier created a new dish for the wedding of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Elisabeth of Bavaria. But Elisabeth - always thinking about her slim figure - spurned this sweet dish. The Emperor jokingly took Sisi’s plate and said with a smile: "Well then give me the “Schmarren” which our Leopold has created”. The Emperor (the “Kaiser”) enjoyed the taste of this sweet dish so much that it was known ever after as “Kaiserschmarren”.
