Good to know about Graz

  • While Graz has many Christmas markets, most close on or before Christmas Eve, and the 'Aufsteirern' market on Schlossberg has a higher mug deposit (€5) compared to others (€2). Source
  • Don't let the name 'autumn harvest' fool you; Steirischer Herbst is a major international festival for contemporary interdisciplinary arts that transforms the city into a stage. Source
  • Sturm, the fizzy, still-fermenting new wine, is only available during the autumn harvest season (September to November) and is a must-try local specialty. Source
  • You're limited to 2 kg of mushrooms per person per day, must clean mushrooms on the spot, and always check for signs as forests are private property and owners can prohibit foraging. Source
  • While Austria has a low travel advisory level (Level 1), authorities maintain a 'high' terrorism threat level, requiring vigilance in public and crowded places. Source
  • While Graz is very safe, maintain vigilance in crowded areas and on public transport to avoid petty theft, a common risk in any tourist destination. Source
  • You don't necessarily have to venture into Südsteiermark to experience wine harvest culture; some local winemakers like Hannes Sabathi's Falter Ego offer tastings and tours within Graz city limits. Source
  • While Graz Airport is only about 9-10 km from the city center, the S-Bahn (train) offers the fastest connection in about 12-15 minutes, quicker than the bus which requires a transfer and takes around 20 minutes excluding waiting times. Source
