Judenburg’s Hauptplatz in upper Styria is a medieval market square anchored by the climbable Stadtturm (city tower), which gives a panoramic view over the Mur valley. The town’s name refers to a Jewish trading community expelled in 1496 under Emperor Maximilian I. Always accessible; free. Judenburg is on the Graz-Bruck an der Mur rail line (approximately 70 km from Graz). Combine with the tower climb and the Magdalenenkirche for a short stop in the upper Mur valley.
