When arriving by car, try to park at one of the many Park & Ride-places and take the tram/bus into the centre. In the city there are plenty of one-way-streets and only a few spaces to park...
Ordinary tickets, beeing valid for 1 hour are 1,70 Euros
a ticket for 24 hours is 3,40 Euros
both of these tickets are for sale at the tram- and bus-drivers
and at most newspaper-shops.

 Marien-Lift ( Lift to the
virgin Mary ) by globetrott,
3 more photos
You may insert 1 Euro and the lift gets up, stays there for 1 minute and goes down again.
It was built recently and in my opinion it is quite a waste of money at a time, when cities like Graz & Vienna do not have enough money to build a lift for handicapped people at all of the Metro-stations, BUT they have money for such a non-sense !! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Schlossberg-Bahn takes you up to the "Casmatten" - the old part of the fortification - there is a great park and an open-air theatre and plenty of places where you may relax or have a break in various restaurants.
The cable-car is quite steep ( 61% ) and it is taking you up to the hight of 427 meters above sea-level.
In contrary to the informations in some booklets issued by the city of Graz, the Schlossbergbahn is part of the GVB-Verbund-system and so the daytickets and ordinary bus/tramtickets are valid there as well ! In case that you have a dayticket, you have to get a free ticket from the desk, to open the automatic door of the train.
Get into the train as soon as the automatic doors will open, and you may get a seat at the great first row with the best panorama-view !!
The Schlossbergbahn-cablecar is working daily
from October till May : 10.00a.m.-10.00p.m.
and from june till september 09.00a.m.-11.00p.m. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Blabutschtunnel - a tunnel in
Graz, 9,9 km long by globetrott
Blabutschtunnel is 9,9 km long and driving through such a tunnel might be a nightmere for some drivers, and it could be extremely dangerous and tireding....
You may as well avoid the tunnel and drive through the centre of Graz.
The speed-limit inside the tunnel is 100 km/h and both directions have a different tube with 2 tracks each. The tunnel is free of extra-charge, BUT you need the "Autobahn-Vignette " of course !!
There are lots of mountains all over Steiermark / Styria and many of the roads have tunnels :
A9 / Pyhrnautobahn is the highway from Wels to Graz and it has 2 tunnels, where you have to pay an extra fee :
South of Spital/Pyhrn: Bosrucktunnel - 5,5 Km - 5,50 Euros
South of St.Michael: Gleinalmtunnel - 8,5 km - 7,50 Euros
Blabutschtunnel is with 9,9km the longest, but free of charge ! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

There are several possibilities to get on top of the Schloßberg - one of them is this wonderful staircase that will take you directely to the Uhrturm - and when walking up the stairs you will realize that is was impossible for enemies in the ancient times to get up the hill at this side of the mountain (before these steps were made)
click on the pic to see the beautiful structure of the stairs, that were built during WW II - and are therefore called "Krieg-steig" (war-stairs)
The small square at the foot of the Kriegsteig is called Schlossbergplatz,and it is about 200 meters from Hauptplatz and next to the spot, where the stairs start, you may see also the small gate for the lift taking you up to the Schlossberg. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 by stiriano
There are connections to all major airports with AUA, Lufthansa, swiss ... and one daily ryanair flight from/to London.
From the airport you can take a bus, a train (both €1,7) or a taxi to the city center.
Bus timetable: http://www.verbundlinie.at/busbahnbim-auskunft/pdf/j05/stv_39630h_j05.pdf
Rail timetable: www.oebb.at (von: Graz Flughafen nach: Graz). The train station is at about 500 meters from the airport, so that it's better to take the bus or taxi if it's raining or you have a lot of luggage. Leave a Comment

An excellent and very economic way to come - even for a short visit - to Graz are the Ryanair flights from London Stansted. You can fly from London Stansted to Graz for the price difference for a reasonable dinner between England and Graz. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
