Keep the train journey simple
Choose a direct departure if its fare works for you. Read any restriction on the ticket and allow time to reach Wien Hbf with bags. A mountain-view seat is a bonus, not a reason to make an awkward connection.
Pay for the station journey
Graz Hbf is outside the free central tram zone. Buy the ticket for your room’s stop. The Altstadt-Bim offer is useful later within its marked central stops; it does not make the whole network free.
Start beside the Mur
After check-in, walk through the centre or along the river. Give the Armoury its own visit during opening hours, and leave the Schlossberg climb for a comfortable time. This route fits a longer journey towards Maribor.
