Graz travel guide
Local insights, practical information & inspiration.
Graz reveals itself gradually. At first, the city feels historic and intimate, with red-tiled rooftops, Renaissance courtyards and narrow streets unfolding beneath the Schlossberg. Then contemporary architecture appears beside the River Mur, creating a contrast that feels confident rather than disruptive.
As the capital of Styria, Graz combines imperial history, university energy, modern design and one of Austria’s most distinctive regional food cultures. It is sophisticated without being formal and cosmopolitan without losing its local character.
The historic centre is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Graz has also been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network as a City of Design since 2011. This combination makes the city particularly interesting for travellers who appreciate architecture, art and places where different periods coexist naturally.
At the centre of the city rises the Schlossberg, crowned by the famous Clock Tower. From the hill, the view extends across terracotta rooftops, church towers and the surrounding Styrian landscape. Below, Hauptplatz and Herrengasse form the elegant heart of the Old Town, with cafés, boutiques, historic façades and hidden courtyards.
Across the River Mur, the futuristic Kunsthaus introduces a completely different architectural language. Nearby, the Murinsel appears to float on the water as a contemporary counterpoint to the churches and historic buildings on the opposite bank.
Graz is also known for its gastronomy. Farmers’ markets, traditional inns, modern restaurants and regional wine culture make food an essential part of the journey. Styrian pumpkin seed oil, seasonal produce and wines from southern Styria appear throughout the city’s kitchens.
A luxury car rental in Graz gives visitors the freedom to move beyond the historic centre and explore the region at their own pace. Vineyards, hilltop castles, thermal resorts and picturesque villages are all within reach, while Vienna, Salzburg, Klagenfurt and neighbouring Slovenia can become part of a longer itinerary.
Graz works equally well for a romantic weekend, a business trip or the beginning of a refined road journey through Central Europe. A premium vehicle provides comfortable connections between Graz Airport, luxury hotels, private residences, corporate venues and the Styrian countryside.
Exinoir can arrange delivery and collection at agreed locations in and around the city. Guests planning to continue through the country can explore our wider collection for luxury car rental in Austria, including executive saloons, premium SUVs, convertibles and performance cars.
What to see in Graz and around
What should you see during your first visit to Graz?
Begin at Hauptplatz, the main square of Graz and one of the best starting points for exploring the historic centre. Colourful façades surround the square, while Herrengasse leads past elegant shops, restaurants and important civic buildings.
Along Herrengasse stands the Landhaus, celebrated for its harmonious Renaissance courtyard. The arcades and proportions create one of the most refined architectural spaces in the city. Nearby, the Styrian Armoury contains an extraordinary historical collection of armour and weapons displayed across several floors.
The Schlossberg is the defining landmark of Graz. Visitors can reach the hill by foot, funicular or glass lift. At the top, landscaped paths, viewpoints and historic remains surround the Clock Tower, whose oversized clock faces have become the symbol of the city.
The view from the Schlossberg is particularly beautiful towards sunset. Red roofs spread below the hill, church towers rise from the Old Town and the River Mur divides the historic and contemporary sides of Graz.
Back in the centre, visit Graz Cathedral and the neighbouring Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II. A short walk away, the double spiral staircase inside Graz Castle demonstrates an ingenious architectural design in which two staircases separate and repeatedly reconnect.
Cross the river to see the Kunsthaus Graz. Its organic blue form has earned it the nickname “Friendly Alien”, yet it has become an established part of the city’s identity. The building hosts exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and provides a striking contrast to the traditional architecture across the river.
The nearby Murinsel is a floating structure combining a café, amphitheatre and pedestrian connection across the Mur. It is especially atmospheric after dark, when its lighting reflects on the water.
Eggenberg Palace lies outside the immediate centre and is particularly convenient to visit by car. The palace, its formal rooms, museums and extensive park form part of the UNESCO World Heritage property shared with the historic centre of Graz.
For a more local experience, visit the farmers’ markets at Kaiser-Josef-Platz or Lendplatz. These neighbourhood markets reveal the culinary character of Styria through seasonal vegetables, regional cheeses, baked goods, flowers and traditional products.
Graz is also a city of concealed details. Walk through the courtyards of the Old Town, look for the Glockenspiel on Glockenspielplatz and take time to explore streets away from the principal shopping routes. Some of the city’s most elegant restaurants, small galleries and independent boutiques are found behind understated entrances.
Driving in Graz: Parking, ZTL and Local Tips
Is Graz easy to explore by car?
Graz is practical to reach and use as a base for exploring Styria. A car is particularly useful for airport transfers, business appointments, hotels outside the centre and journeys towards vineyards, castles and neighbouring regions.
The historic centre itself is compact and best experienced on foot. Parts of the Old Town are pedestrianised or subject to restricted access, so the most comfortable solution is to park in a central underground garage and continue through the historic streets without the pressure of searching for roadside parking.
Where should I park in central Graz?
Several underground garages and covered car parks are situated close to the Old Town, the Opera House, Kunsthaus and principal shopping streets. A secure garage is generally preferable for luxury cars, particularly during an overnight stay or extended visit.
Before entering with a large SUV, luxury van or low supercar, check the garage’s height restriction, ramp gradient and parking-space dimensions. Older city-centre facilities may be more confined than modern garages outside the historic area.
How does street parking work in Graz?
Central Graz uses paid short-term parking zones marked by signs at their entrance and exit points. In the Blue Zone, parking is generally limited to a maximum of three hours.
Charges normally apply from Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 20:00 and on Saturday between 09:00 and 13:00. Different regulations apply around Graz Central Station, and individual streets may have additional restrictions. Local signs always take priority.
Parking can be paid through machines or supported mobile-parking services. Drivers should verify that the correct zone and registration number have been selected before leaving the vehicle.
Can I drive into the pedestrian centre?
General vehicle access to pedestrian areas is restricted. Hotels located within or beside a controlled area may provide specific arrival instructions or temporary access arrangements for guests. Contact the accommodation before arrival rather than relying solely on satellite navigation.
Delivery zones, tram tracks and one-way streets require particular attention. In the Old Town, it is often quicker and more comfortable to use a garage a short walk from the hotel.
Does an Austrian motorway vignette apply around Graz?
Most Austrian motorways and expressways require a valid vignette for passenger vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tonnes. Some routes elsewhere in Austria may also include separately tolled motorway sections or tunnels.
Confirm whether the rental vehicle already carries the appropriate Austrian motorway authorisation, especially when planning to continue towards Vienna, Salzburg, Carinthia or the Alpine regions.
What should I know about winter driving near Graz?
Between 1 November and 15 April, winter tyres are mandatory on all wheels whenever snow, slush or ice creates wintry road conditions. Graz generally experiences less severe Alpine conditions than Innsbruck, but weather can change considerably when travelling towards higher areas of Styria or Carinthia.
If the itinerary includes mountain roads, ski destinations or rural accommodation, provide the complete route before booking. The vehicle should be selected and equipped according to the expected conditions rather than the weather inside Graz alone.
Can the vehicle be delivered to Graz Airport?
Delivery and collection may be arranged at Graz Airport, selected hotels, business addresses, private residences and other agreed locations. Providing flight information in advance helps coordinate the handover and allows the journey to continue directly towards the city or Styrian countryside.
Where can I drive from Graz?
The South Styrian Wine Road is one of the most attractive journeys from Graz. It winds through rolling vineyards, small villages and panoramic hills near destinations such as Ehrenhausen, Gamlitz and Leutschach. The route is particularly beautiful from late spring through autumn.
A convertible or elegant grand tourer complements the landscape, but anyone planning wine tastings should designate a driver who will not consume alcohol or arrange professional transport for that portion of the visit.
Riegersburg Castle offers another memorable excursion. The fortress stands dramatically above the surrounding countryside and can be combined with regional culinary producers, traditional restaurants and other destinations in eastern Styria.
West of Graz, travellers can visit the Piber Lipizzaner Stud or continue towards the green hills and lakes of western Styria. Klagenfurt and Lake Wörthersee provide a longer journey towards Carinthia, while Vienna can be incorporated into an elegant cross-country itinerary.
Graz is also well positioned for international travel. Maribor and the vineyards of Slovenia lie to the south, while Ljubljana, Zagreb and northern Croatia can form part of a broader Central European route. All cross-border travel must be declared and approved before the rental begins.
Choosing the Right Luxury Car for Graz
Graz accommodates a wider range of luxury vehicles than destinations dominated by steep mountain roads or dense historic centres. The best choice depends on whether the journey focuses on business, city exploration, wine-country roads or longer international travel.
Executive saloons are ideal for corporate appointments, airport transfers, formal events and sophisticated hotel arrivals. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class combines quiet comfort with a discreet character that suits the city’s business and cultural environment.
Luxury SUVs offer greater flexibility for families and longer itineraries. Models such as the Range Rover, BMW X7, Mercedes-AMG G63 or Bentley Bentayga provide generous luggage capacity and comfort for journeys between Graz, rural estates, thermal resorts and neighbouring countries.
Grand tourers are particularly well suited to the Styrian countryside. Their balance of performance, refinement and luggage space makes them ideal for romantic weekends, vineyard routes and journeys towards Vienna, Slovenia or northern Italy.
Convertibles are a natural choice for the South Styrian Wine Road during spring, summer and early autumn. With the roof open, the landscape becomes part of the experience: vineyards, warm evening air and quiet roads create a journey that feels intimate and unhurried.
Sports cars and supercars can be enjoyed around Graz during favourable weather, particularly for celebrations, exclusive events and performance-focused European tours. Drivers should still consider luggage limitations, garage access and the condition of smaller rural roads.
For groups, business delegations or families carrying several large suitcases, a luxury van rental may provide the most comfortable and practical solution.
Exinoir can recommend the appropriate vehicle according to the season, number of passengers, luggage and complete itinerary, ensuring that the car remains suitable from the city centre to every destination beyond Graz.
