Flights to Graz

A flight from London to Graz takes just over two hours.

Spring and summer are the most popular times of the year to visit the city, so book your flights in the winter or autumn to save and enjoy exploring the city’s picturesque landscapes and Christmas markets with fewer crowds.

You can make a trip to Graz fit any budget. There are plenty of free attractions to explore, like the Murinsel, an artificial floating island in the Mur river, or the Botanical Gardens, with beautiful glasshouses showcasing tropical, desert and alpine plants. Enjoy cheap meals at markets such as Kaiser Josef Markt or grab lunch specials at local bistros.

You can also invest in a Graz City Card for free transport and discounted museum access. You can also take advantage of Graz’s beautiful parks and trails for free outdoor fun if you travel during the warmer months. 

Once you land in Graz Airport you’re about 10km from the city centre. You can easily travel by the S-Bhan train, which takes just over 10 minutes, or catch the airport bus which takes around 20 minutes. There’s also a taxi rank just outside Arrivals to get you to your destination with ease.
