Practicum 3: Students Visited Graz as a Tourism Destination

Second-year master’s students studying in the English-language programme in Ljubljana planned and carried out a two-day study visit to Graz as part of the course Practicum 3: From Idea to Execution of a Travel Itinerary.

The visit took place from Friday, 22 May, to Saturday, 23 May 2026. Students explored Graz as a tourism destination and visited its key landmarks, including the Town Hall, the Cathedral, the castle area, the Clock Tower, the Murinsel – an artificial island on the Mur River – and the famous Styrian Armoury, one of the most important collections of its kind in Europe.

The programme also included a visit to the Botanical Garden of the University of Graz, where students discovered a greener, natural-science and educational side of the destination.

A special emphasis was placed on sustainability. Students travelled to Graz and back by train and used trams to move around the city.

The entire programme was designed, prepared and carried out by the students themselves – from planning the itinerary to its implementation on site. In this way, they transferred knowledge from the classroom into practice and experienced first-hand what it means to organise a trip from the initial idea to its final execution.
