City panorama of Graz

Travel by train from Klagenfurt to Graz

The Koralmbahn: high-speed travel with the Railjet Express.

Graz, the capital of Styria, impresses with its variety - the historic Old Town, modern architecture and numerous cultural highlights shape the cityscape, as do cosy squares and charming cafés. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, culinary delights and inspiring experiences in Austria’s second-largest city.

Getting there is very convenient - from December 2025, trains will run along the new Koralmbahn at nearly half-hour intervals from Klagenfurt to Graz. Journey times will also be significantly reduced - the fastest option is the RJX. The train reaches Graz in just 42 minutes, making it more than twice as fast as by car.

Note

Please note that regional KlimaTickets for Carinthia and Styria are not valid for long-distance journeys crossing state borders. Therefore, a valid long-distance ticket or the Austrian climate ticket is required for travel through the Koralm Tunnel.

Explore Graz by public transport

Graz public transport tickets give you mobility and flexibility beyond the end of your train journey. Trams, buses and suburban trains can take you directly from Graz Central Station to your destination - fast, comfortable and with no need to search for parking. The Styria Leisure Ticket (Freizeit-Ticket Steiermark) is especially convenient: it gives you access to all local public transport in the state for a whole day - perfect for trips to the nearby area or spontaneous short breaks. For culture enthusiasts, the Graz Card is a great recommendation - in addition to unlimited use of public transport, the Graz Card grants free admission to selected museums and numerous discounts with partners.

On the move in every way

Since mobility doesn’t end at the last station, in Graz and the surrounding area you can book additional first- and last-mile services via the wegfinder app - from ÖBB Rail&Drive to other ÖBB mobility services.
