The Glockenspielplatz in the Graz Altstadt holds a 1905 mechanical clock whose two hand-carved wooden figures in traditional Styrian dress emerge and dance at 11:00, 15:00, and 18:00 daily. Free to watch. The narrow square is a short walk from the Hauptplatz and the Grazer Dom. Arrive a few minutes before the performance for a clear view; the space fills quickly at showtime.
