# Top 10 Things To Do in Graz

Graz, Austria · Europe · By Wimup Editorial, 13 min read

Graz sits on the Mur where the eastern Alps flatten into the Styrian basin, close enough to Slovenia that its food and its architecture both borrow from the south. It is Austria's second city, and roughly 61,000 of its residents are students, which is why a UNESCO old town this intact never feels like a museum piece.

## Quick answer

The best things to do in Graz are the Schlossberg and its clock tower, the Landeszeughaus with its 32,000 racked weapons, the Kunsthaus, Schloss Eggenberg and the Murinsel. The old town is small and flat, so almost all of it is walkable, and the funicular, the lift and the trams all run on the same zone 101 ticket. Give the city two days, and keep a third if you want the South Styrian wine road, which is about 45 minutes south by car.

## Quick facts

- **Best months:** May · Jun · Sep
- **Ideal length:** 2 days
- **Budget per day:** €90–170
- **Language:** German, Styrian dialect
- **Getting around:** On foot, by tram, by bike

## The 10 best things to do in Graz

### 1. Climb the Schlossberg to the clock tower

Landmark · Schlossberg, 8010 Graz

The hill is why the city is here, and the clock tower is why the hill is empty. Napoleon's terms in 1809 required the fortress to be pulled down, and the citizens paid a ransom to keep two pieces of it. What is left is a wooded park 123 metres above the Hauptplatz, with a funicular, a lift inside the rock and a stone stair.

- **Time:** 2 hr
- **Cost:** Funicular and lift on a Graz Linien zone 101 ticket
- **Best at:** The hour before sunset
- **Tip:** The clock's long hand marks the hours and the short one the minutes, a hangover from when it had only one hand.

### 2. Walk the racks at the Landeszeughaus

Museum · Herrengasse 16, 8010 Graz

Around 32,000 weapons, suits of armour and pieces of equipment stand across four floors of the Styrian provincial arsenal, the largest historic armoury left anywhere. The point is the quantity: Styria was the frontier province facing Ottoman raids, and the stock was never broken up. It reads like a warehouse that stopped issuing.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** Ticketed
- **Best at:** Morning
- **Tip:** The armoury is one of the Universalmuseum Joanneum houses, so a group ticket pays off if you plan to see more than one of them.

### 3. See the Friendly Alien at the Kunsthaus

Architecture · Lendkai 1, 8020 Graz

Peter Cook and Colin Fournier built this for the 2003 Capital of Culture year and named it the Friendly Alien themselves. The blue acrylic skin bulges over a 19th-century iron house on the Lend bank, and the nozzles on the roof are north-facing skylights. After dark the east face becomes a media façade of 930 rings.

- **Time:** 1.5 hr
- **Cost:** Ticketed
- **Best at:** After dark for the façade
- **Tip:** The Needle, the glazed arm sticking out of the top floor, looks straight down the Mur and costs nothing extra once you are inside.

### 4. Read Schloss Eggenberg as a calendar

Palace · Eggenberger Allee 90, 8020 Graz

Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg had the palace built as a model of time and the heavens, and the arithmetic is exact: 365 windows for the days, 31 rooms on each floor for the longest month, 24 state rooms for the hours. It was added to the Graz World Heritage listing in 2010, and the park has peacocks in it. Tram 1 stops at the gate.

- **Time:** 2.5 hr
- **Cost:** Ticketed, guided tour included in the entrance fee
- **Best at:** Midday
- **Tip:** The state rooms can only be seen on a guided tour, and English tours run to a fixed timetable, so check it before you ride out.

### 5. Pair the cathedral with the Mausoleum of Ferdinand II

Church · Burggasse 3, 8010 Graz

The Dom St. Ägidius went up between 1438 and 1462 in Gothic and was reworked in Baroque over the next three centuries. What is not ordinary is the fresco on the outer south wall: the Landplagenbild of 1485 records the three plagues that hit the city that year. Next door, the Mausoleum of Ferdinand II was begun in 1614.

- **Time:** 45 min
- **Cost:** Cathedral free, mausoleum ticketed
- **Best at:** Morning
- **Tip:** Find the Landplagenbild on the outside wall before you go in. Most visitors walk straight past it to the door.

### 6. Cross the river through the Murinsel

Architecture · Lendkai, 8020 Graz

The New York artist Vito Acconci moored a steel shell in the middle of the Mur for the 2003 Capital of Culture year: about 50 metres long and open at the top like a half-twisted net. Two footbridges connect it to each bank, so it works as a crossing as well as a sculpture. It was designed as temporary and never left.

- **Time:** 30 min
- **Cost:** Free to walk through
- **Best at:** Evening
- **Tip:** Enter from one bank and leave by the other. Doubling back wastes the only building in Graz that is also a bridge.

### 7. Take both flights of the double spiral staircase

Landmark · Hofgasse 15, 8010 Graz

Emperor Frederick III had the Burg built as his residence, and in 1499 a mason cut this staircase into a corner tower. Two flights wind in opposite directions, separate at every half turn and touch again at each floor, which earned it the name of the staircase of reconciliation. It stands open and free.

- **Time:** 20 min
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Weekday mornings
- **Tip:** Send one person up each flight. Meeting at every landing is the only way to see what the mason actually did.

### 8. Work the Hauptplatz and Herrengasse

Neighbourhood · Hauptplatz, 8010 Graz

The main square has been triangular since the 12th century and still holds the sausage stands, the tram junction and the town hall. The fountain is Archduke Johann with the four rivers of Styria at his feet. Herrengasse runs south as the pedestrian spine, past arcaded courtyards that are almost never signposted.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Saturday morning
- **Tip:** Push through the unmarked passageways off Herrengasse. Several open into Renaissance courtyards with cafés in them.

### 9. Stand in the Landhaushof

Architecture · Herrengasse 16, 8010 Graz

Domenico dell'Allio built the Landhaus for the Styrian estates between 1557 and 1565, and its courtyard is the most complete piece of Lombard Renaissance architecture in the country: three storeys of arcades and a bronze well canopy of 1590. It is still the seat of the Styrian parliament, so it is in use rather than preserved.

- **Time:** 20 min
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Late afternoon
- **Tip:** Come in Advent for the ice nativity, or in summer for the concerts the courtyard is used for.

Links: [Website](https://www.graztourismus.at/en/sightseeing-culture/sights?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 10. Look up at the Herz-Jesu-Kirche

Church · Bischof-Zwerger-Platz, 8010 Graz

Graz's largest church went up between 1881 and 1887 in brick neo-Gothic, and its tower reaches 109.6 metres, the tallest in Styria. From most of the eastern districts it is the landmark you navigate by. The interior is high, narrow and unusually bright for the style. The square in front is the organic market on Tuesdays.

- **Time:** 30 min
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Tuesday afternoon
- **Tip:** The organic market on Bischof-Zwerger-Platz runs Tuesdays from 14:00 to 18:00, so time the visit and eat afterwards.

## Best restaurants in Graz

Styrian cooking runs from the vaulted Wirtshaus to a Michelin dining room, often on the same street.

1. **Der Steirer** (Styrian classics and small plates · Innere Stadt): The reliable answer to where to eat Styrian food without booking weeks out. Backhendl, Käferbohnen and a wine list that stays inside the province. [Website](https://www.der-steirer.at/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Landhauskeller** (Vaulted cellar, courtyard tables · Innere Stadt): Serving in the same building for more than 450 years, in a Renaissance courtyard off Schmiedgasse. Traditional Austrian plates done properly rather than reinvented. [Website](https://www.landhauskeller.at/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Aiola Upstairs** (Gault Millau toque, terrace over the roofs · Schlossberg): Halfway up the Schlossberg with the city laid out below and a modern Austrian kitchen that earns the view rather than trading on it. Book the terrace and go at dusk. [Website](https://upstairs.aiola.at/en?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Genießerei am Markt** (Michelin star · Kaiser-Josef-Platz): Alexander Posch cooks a market menu of about ten courses from what the stalls outside had that morning. The most literal argument for Graz as a food city.
5. **Zur Goldenen Birn** (Michelin star, in the Parkhotel · St. Leonhard): A menu built from old imperial recipes and read back in a modern hand. The most formal room on this list and the one to keep for a last night.
6. **Gasthaus Stainzerbauer** (Traditional Wirtshaus · Innere Stadt): An old inn on Bürgergasse behind the cathedral, with a garden courtyard and the long Styrian standards on the menu. The city before it had a design label. [Website](https://www.stainzerbauer.at/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Best cafes and bakeries in Graz

Vienna gets the coffee-house reputation. Graz has the better bakeries.

1. **Tribeka** (Specialty coffee, several branches · City-wide): The local specialty roaster, with branches near the university and in the centre. The place to go when you want the coffee rather than the room.
2. **Bäckerei Sorger** (Bakery counters across the city · City-wide): The Styrian bakery chain everyone here grew up on, with a long bread counter and one of the few places open on Sunday morning. Order a Kürbiskernweckerl.
3. **Konditorei Philipp** (Cakes, pralines and ice cream · Innere Stadt): A confectioner rather than a café with cake, which is the difference you taste. Ice cream in summer, and a praline counter worth the queue in winter.
4. **Das Promenade** (Pavilion on the Stadtpark · Stadtpark): A pavilion on the edge of the Stadtpark dating from 1870, run now as one of the freshest rooms in the city. Breakfast under the trees is the best value here.
5. **Freiblick Tagescafé** (Top floor of Kastner & Ohler · Innere Stadt): A day café on the top floor of the old department store, with a terrace looking straight across at the Schlossberg. Closes when the shop does.

## Best bars in Graz

The student population sets the pace, and the Lend bank and the Stadtpark set the geography.

1. **Kombüse** (DJs Thursday to Saturday · Stadtpark): A small wooden bar in the Stadtpark that opens after 22:00 from Thursday to Saturday and runs a different DJ each night. Dancing until it is properly light again.
2. **Parkhouse** (Café by day, club at weekends · Stadtpark): A 1928 pavilion built against the old city wall, working as a terrace café in daylight, a bar in the evening and a club at the weekend. Three venues in one address.
3. **Rangoon Cocktailbar** (Falstaff-listed cocktails, live music Tuesdays · Innere Stadt): The city's serious cocktail room: gin, whisky and old rum done straight, with live music on Tuesday nights. Where to go when the student bars are too loud to talk in. [Website](https://www.rangoon.at/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Piere's** (Cheap beer and a long whisky shelf · Lendplatz): On Lendplatz, pouring Gösser at student prices with a whisky list nobody expects at that price. The anchor of the Lend evening.
5. **Postgarage** (Club and live venue, capacity 500 · Gries): The largest event space in the city, on Dreihackengasse in Gries, running club nights and live shows across two floors. Check what is on first.

## Best museums in Graz

The Universalmuseum Joanneum was founded in 1811 and still runs most of what follows.

1. **Neue Galerie Graz** (Art from 1800 to now, 70,000 works · Joanneumsviertel): The province's modern and contemporary collection, reached through the sunken glass entrance in the Joanneumsviertel. Strong on Austrian painting either side of 1900. [Website](https://museum-joanneum.at/en/neue-galerie-graz/your-visit/location-overview?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Museum für Geschichte** (Styrian history and the Schaudepot · Sackstraße): The history of the province told through its own objects, with a visible-storage floor that shows the collection as it is kept. The most useful hour for context.
3. **Volkskundemuseum** (Folk culture, in a former monastery · Paulustorgasse): Everyday Styrian life, costume and craft, in an old monastery below the Schlossberg. The direct explanation of what you will see at Aufsteirern in September.
4. **Naturkundemuseum** (Natural history in the Joanneum quarter · Joanneumsviertel): Botany, geology, mineralogy and zoology from the Joanneum's founding collections, redisplayed in the modern quarter. The best of the city's museums for children. [Website](https://museum-joanneum.at/en/joanneumsviertel/your-visit/location-overview?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
5. **Graz Museum Schlossberg** (City history, on the hill · Schlossberg): A small museum inside the surviving Schlossberg buildings, covering how the fortress worked and why almost none of it is left. Pair it with the walk up.

## Best markets in Graz

Around 300 producers sell direct in Graz, and the markets run six mornings a week.

1. **Kaiser-Josef-Markt** (Mon to Sat, 6:00 to 13:00 · Innere Stadt): The biggest and oldest of the farmers' markets, behind the opera house. Pumpkin seed oil, Käferbohnen and apples straight from the grower. [Website](https://www.graztourismus.at/en/sightseeing-culture/sights/kaiser-josef-market_shg_1458?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Bauernmarkt am Lendplatz** (Mon to Sat, 6:00 to 13:00 · Lend): The right-bank market and the more local of the two big ones, ringed by bars that open as the stalls come down. Come for the produce, stay for the square. [Website](https://www.graztourismus.at/en/sightseeing-culture/sights/farmers-market-at-lendplatz_shg_2130?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Bauernmarkt Geidorfplatz** (Wed and Sat, 6:00 to 13:00 · Geidorf): The university district's market, twice a week and small enough to talk to every stallholder. Best on Saturday, when the bread arrives.
4. **Bio-Bauernmarkt Herz Jesu** (Tue, 14:00 to 18:00 · Bischof-Zwerger-Platz): The organic market, in front of the Herz-Jesu church and the only one that runs in the afternoon. Certified producers only, so it is the shortest list of stalls. [Website](https://www.graztourismus.at/en/food-drinks-shopping/culinary-hotspots/farmers-markets?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Best neighborhoods in Graz

Graz runs to 17 districts. These five are the ones a short trip touches.

1. **Innere Stadt** (The UNESCO core · District 1): Everything inside the old walls: Hauptplatz, Herrengasse, the cathedral, the Burg and the foot of the Schlossberg. Walkable end to end in 20 minutes.
2. **Lend** (Kunsthaus, Lendplatz, bars · District 4): The left bank opposite the old town, anchored by the Kunsthaus and the Lendplatz market. Immigrant-run kitchens, second-hand shops and the densest run of bars.
3. **Gries** (Mixed, creative, changing fast · District 5): South of Lend on the same bank, the most international quarter in Graz and the one that has changed most in a decade. Studios and offices alongside the older shops.
4. **Geidorf** (University, botanical garden, quiet streets · District 3): North of the centre and largely academic: the main university campus, the botanical garden, and cafés that empty in August. Green and calm without being far out.
5. **Jakomini** (Transport hub and everyday Graz · District 6): Where every tram line meets, at Jakominiplatz, and where the city gets on with its week. Cheaper beds than the centre, and the Kaiser-Josef market on the northern edge.

## Best day trips in Graz

Styria is small and the trains go south. None of these needs more than a day.

1. **South Styrian Wine Road** (About 45 minutes south · Südsteiermark): A 25 kilometre run of ridge road through Ehrenhausen, Gamlitz and Leutschach, with cellar doors most of the way. Sauvignon blanc is what the region is known for. [Website](https://www.steiermark.com/en?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Riegersburg** (About an hour east by car · Eastern Styria): A fortress on the plug of an extinct volcano, never taken, with a witchcraft museum inside. The Zotter chocolate factory sits at the foot of the same hill.
3. **Piber Federal Stud** (24 kilometres west · West Styria): Where the Lipizzaner horses of the Spanish Riding School are bred before they go to Vienna. Foals are dark and turn white with age, which is what people come to check.
4. **Austrian Open-Air Museum Stübing** (North, up the Mur valley · Stübing): Around a hundred historic farmhouses moved here from every Austrian province and rebuilt along a wooded valley. One of the ten largest open-air museums in Europe.
5. **Bärnbach** (West, past Voitsberg · West Styria): St. Barbara's church was rebuilt by Hundertwasser in 1987, so an ordinary parish church now carries gold onion domes and no straight lines. A glass museum next door.
6. **Maribor, Slovenia** (Just over an hour by train · Across the border): The nearest foreign city, close enough that Graz treats it as a suburb with better wine. Its old vine is the oldest producing grapevine in the world.

## Festivals & annual events in Graz (2026)

- **Elevate Festival** (Mar): Electronic music, art and political discourse, staged partly in the tunnels inside the Schlossberg.
- **Diagonale** (Mar): The festival of Austrian film, held in Graz cinemas across six days with the year's domestic features and shorts.
- **Styriarte** (Jun): The classical festival founded in 1985 to give Nikolaus Harnoncourt a summer home in his own province. Late June and July.
- **La Strada** (Jul): Street theatre, puppetry and outdoor performance across the squares and the riverbanks, most of it free.
- **Aufsteirern** (Sep): The old town given over to Styrian folk culture for a weekend: brass, dirndl, regional food and craft on every square.
- **steirischer herbst** (Sep): Founded in 1968 and still one of Europe's oldest festivals of the avant-garde, running new theatre, art and music.
- **Lange Nacht der Museen** (Oct): The Austria-wide museum night, when the Joanneum houses and most smaller collections stay open late on one ticket.
- **Grazer Advent** (Dec): More than a dozen Christmas markets across the squares of the old town, plus the ice nativity in the Landhaushof.

## Must-try dishes in Graz, Austria

- **Backhendl**: Chicken in fine breadcrumbs, fried and served in pieces with lemon and a salad.
- **Steirisches Kürbiskernöl**: Dark green oil pressed from roasted pumpkin seeds, used here on salad, soup, spreads and ice cream.
- **Käferbohnensalat**: Scarlet runner beans, grown here since the 16th century, dressed with vinegar, onion and pumpkin seed oil.
- **Grazer Krauthäuptel**: A local butterhead lettuce with a reddish rim, protected under its own name. Served with seed oil and egg.
- **Verhackert**: Smoked bacon chopped to a paste with salt and garlic, spread thick on dark bread. Farmhouse food.
- **Brettljause**: A board of cured meats, Verhackert, cheese, horseradish and bread, meant to be shared slowly.
- **Sterz**: Coarse buckwheat or cornmeal cooked until it breaks into crumbs, eaten with milk, soup or crackling.
- **Pumpkin seed oil ice cream**: Vanilla ice cream with the oil poured over it, which sounds wrong and makes the case for the oil.

## Graz transport & airports

- **Graz Airport** (GRZ): About 9 kilometres south of the centre. The S5 train reaches it from the Hauptbahnhof in roughly 12 minutes, every 15 minutes, with a covered walkway to the terminal. [Website](https://graz-airport.at/en/passengers/at-the-airport/to-and-from/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **ÖBB long-distance rail** (RAIL): Graz Hauptbahnhof sits west of the centre, three tram stops from Hauptplatz. Railjet runs hourly to Vienna in about two and a half hours, and southbound trains reach Slovenia. [Website](https://www.oebb.at/en/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **Trams and buses** (TRAM): Holding Graz Linien runs the network inside fare zone 101, which stretches as far as the airport. One ticket covers trams, buses and the funicular; the old town tram is free. [Website](https://www.holding-graz.at/en/mobility/ticketshop/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **On foot and by bike** (BIKE): The old town is flat, compact and largely pedestrianised, so almost nothing inside it needs a ticket. The Mur cycle path runs the length of the city on both banks. [Website](https://www.graztourismus.at/en/getting-there-and-public-transport/mobility-in-graz?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Interesting facts

- The clock tower reads backwards. The Uhrturm had one long hand for centuries, and when a minute hand was added it went on shorter.
- The city bought its own landmark back: after 1809 the citizens raised a ransom to spare the clock tower when the fortress came down.
- Schloss Eggenberg is a calendar in stone: 365 windows, 31 rooms on each floor, and 24 state rooms for the hours of the day.
- The Landeszeughaus survived because Styria petitioned to keep its own stock when the empire centralised. Roughly 32,000 pieces stayed.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger grew up in Thal, a village about six kilometres west of Graz, and the house he was born in is now a museum.

## Graz travel FAQ

### How many days do you need in Graz?

Two. The first covers the old town: the Schlossberg, the armoury, the cathedral and the Burg staircase, with the Lend bank and the Kunsthaus in the afternoon. The second takes tram 1 out to Schloss Eggenberg and leaves time for a market and a museum. Add a third day only if you want the wine road or Riegersburg.

### Is Graz walkable?

Almost entirely. The UNESCO core is flat and mostly pedestrianised, and you can cross it end to end in about 20 minutes. The two exceptions are Schloss Eggenberg, which is 20 minutes out on tram 1, and the Schlossberg itself, which has a funicular and a lift inside the rock if you would rather not climb it.

### What is Graz known for?

Two UNESCO listings in one city, the historic old town from 1999 and Schloss Eggenberg from 2010, plus the largest surviving historic armoury in the world. It has also been a UNESCO City of Design since 2011, which is where the Kunsthaus and the Murinsel come from, and it trades hard on Styrian produce.

### Do you need a car for the day trips?

Not for all of them. Trains run south to Leibnitz and Ehrenhausen for the wine road and on to Maribor in just over an hour, and buses reach Stübing and Köflach. A car helps for Riegersburg and for driving the ridge road between the cellar doors, where the point is the stopping rather than the arriving.

### When is the best time to visit Graz?

Late spring and September. May and June bring the terraces and the Styriarte concerts without the August heat, and September stacks Aufsteirern and the opening of steirischer herbst into the same few weeks while the markets are at their best. December is the other case worth making, for the Advent markets and the ice nativity.
