Graz, Austria’s second-largest city, impresses with a unique blend of historic Old Town, vibrant cultural life and contemporary architecture. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, former European Capital of Culture and City of Design, this metropolis in the state of Styria offers numerous cultural highlights and vibrant city life.
Getting to Graz is very convenient too, since there are already numerous direct connections from Vienna. From 14 December 2025, the new Koralmbahn will provide even more comfort and a significantly more frequent service. Trains will run at half-hour intervals and take you to the Styrian capital quickly and in an environmentally friendly way.
Reach your destination for less with the Sparschiene ticket
ÖBB Sparschiene tickets offer travel from Vienna to Graz at even lower fares. Simply choose a Sparschiene offer when purchasing your ticket and you will be one step closer to a comfortable journey. It pays to be quick here - each train has a limited number of Sparschiene tickets available. So if you want to travel with ÖBB at super low fares, you can book your ticket up to 6 months in advance. This not only ensures you get a better price, but also makes planning your trip much more relaxed.
Explore Graz by public transport
Graz public transport tickets allow you to travel around the city flexibly once you arrive. Trams, buses and suburban trains will take you from Graz Central Station to your destination in comfort, with no need to search for parking or take detours. The Styria Leisure Ticket (Freizeit-Ticket Steiermark) is especially handy, since it allows you to use public transport throughout Styria for a whole day - ideal for short trips in the surrounding area. We recommend booking your Graz public transport ticket at the same time!
Since not every journey ends at a station, in Graz and the surrounding area you can also book mobility services for the first and last mile, such as ÖBB Rail&Drive, using the wegfinder app. This enables you to hire a car, a bicycle or an e-scooter at Graz station and set off right away!
