Karl Franzens Universität Graz (KFUNIGRAZ)

Every friday there was an Erasmusstammtisch for the Erasmusstudents. That was a good occasion to meet friends. A lot of austrian students were there too. I also frequently visited the latin-american bar Latinos. It has a great atmosfere and some dancingspace. The Kulturhauskeller is the place to be when you really want to dance. It is worth the 25 ATS entrance-fee.The irish pubs are always crowded and they play great music there. In the city-park there is a small cafe. Especially in autumn, when it is still warm it is great to sit on the terrace. The Urbanikeller is also very trendy.

I'm just learning german, and the german location names sound still terrible to remember if I don't see them written!!! There is this one pub, close to the University, that I call "Students' Pub". Everybody knows it here! It's packed very early, but it's a good place to meet people! There's also a Karaoke pub, that I don't remember the name neither... was it something like "3 Monkeys"...? I'm not sure, but it's really nice on Tuesday! All the Bier Festival, and national events are also good to see, the Austrian culture is really nice and friendly!

For coffee, "The Beanery" of "Harrach Cafe" near the Karl-Franzens-Universität are not to be missed. Night spots for Erasmus are the USI-Fest (University party nearly each Friday), KulturhausKeller, Three monkeys, Cohibar,....many, many places. Also parties at Studentwohnheims (student residences). Must go also to the Theatre. There is also the General Music Direktion where you can hear different kinds of music deppending the day you go. Can dance a lot there and have fun. Many austrians go there or to Teatro.

The Usi-fest for Erasmus students was a legend and very good place to meet other Erasmus students - every friday! Eschenlaube was an Erasmus must for wednesday nights. Flann O'Brien - good food, Stern - personally my favorite, best cosmopolitans in the town, Parkhouse in Stadtpark for the summer months, Kulturhauskeller - funny place if you are there with your friends... And so on, I really could continue this list! If you are in Graz in autumn don't forget to try drink called "Sturm" - it is really stunning...

An absolute must in summer in Graz is parkhaus-this is a bar in the Stadtpark where you can listen to some funky music and meet lots of people.In winter I spent most of my time,surprise,surprise in the irish bars in the city centre.Really though you can meet very nice people here and really enjoy yourself.There is noone better than the irish for partying..I believe that more after this year than ever before.

I organized a lot by myself with people met up there. We often went to private parties and parties organized for Erasmus. A very cheap and good place where to eat, even if surely not that healthy, was the "Drei goldenen Kugeln". I remember a disco, but mainly a kind of disco pub, named the "Three Monkeys", and an other one... but I can't remember how's that called! :p!
