Even if you've only skipped an insignificant number of geography lessons, you might still be unsure as to where exactly Graz is. Worry not, dear traveller; nestled in the heart of continental Europe, we are within easy reach of most European capitals.
Wherever you are, the mighty Michelin knows the quickest way to Graz.
The romantic days of steam puffing and wheel clacking might be long gone, but the train is still a speedy and comfy way to frolic about your continent. Graz has direct connections to Ljubljana, Maribor (SLO) and Zagreb (CRO), and a bit of train-hopping can get you here from almost anywhere in Europe. Check OEBB for more info.
What the bus lacks in comfort, it makes up in price. You can get to Graz relatively cheaply from most cities in North Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovakia and Macedonia. Eurolines should provide you with all the necessary info.
Until hoverboards finally come into use, flying's still the best option to get about. Read on to see what we've dug up flights-wise, or use the SkyScanner widget down below.
We've listed a couple of connections to Graz and nearby airports: Klagenfurt (90mins); Vienna, Ljubljana (SLO), Zagreb (CRO) 2hrs; and Bratislava (SK) 2,5hrs. If you're feeling adventurous, opt for Salzburg, Linz (AUS), Trieste (IT) or Munich (GER).
If you still can't find a flight to your liking, try Graz Airport and CheckFelix. Good to know that Austrian Airlines flies from Vienna to Graz 6 times a day, and Lufthansa from München and Frankfurt to Graz 4 times a day. Furthermore, Croatia Airlines flies to Zagreb from Aberdeen, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Manchester and Newcastle, so you're practically spoilt for choice there. :)
