What to see in Graz in two days

A two-day trip to Graz will be packed with activities but not exhausting if you group the sights by neighbourhood. It’s worth leaving some time in your itinerary for Austrian architecture and views of the city, a rest after the coach journey, and the possibility of changing your plans due to the weather.

Day one

Start with the central Hauptplatz and the Old Town. Choose one main paid attraction, and structure the rest of the itinerary as a leisurely stroll. Check opening times and ticket prices on the official tourist websites.

Day Two

Continue through the Schlossberg, past the clock tower and along the Mur promenade. Alternate between museums and parks or promenades so as not to overpack your itinerary. Booking in advance may be useful for popular attractions, but leave some flexibility in your schedule.

Public transport

Download an offline map and check how to pay for your journey. If most places are close by, walking is often more convenient than making several short transfers.

Bus travel preparation

Save the bus station address, and choose your accommodation based on your arrival time. Country-specific tips are compiled in the RedRay guide, and essentials are listed in the ‘long journey’ checklist.

Return journey

Head to the platform in good time and check your ticket before boarding. You can compare bus options to and from the city on RedRay.
