Graz, Austria’s second-largest city, delights with its mix of historic Old Town, modern architecture and a vibrant cultural scene. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, City of Design and European Capital of Culture, the Styrian metropolis offers a wealth of impressions, from impressive buildings to charming squares and cosy cafés.
From December 2025, the train journey from Villach to Graz will be even more convenient and faster thanks to the new Koralmbahn. More frequent direct connections, shorter journey times and modern trains make the trip particularly pleasant. You will reach the center of Graz without having to change trains at the end of a relaxed, environmentally friendly and stress-free journey.
