Public transport

What do the bus, the tram, the Old Town Tram, Schlossberg lift and the Schlossbergbahn funicular have in common? Exactly – they all get you from A to B. The best thing about it: You can enjoy excellent views of Graz while using them – for instance during a free ride with the Old Town Tram between Jakominiplatz and Hauptplatz plus one stop in both directions.
You can also let your gaze wander across the city roofs during a ride with the Schlossbergbahn funicular. Alternatively, the Schlossberg lift offers you unique views of the impressive rock landscapes within Schlossberg hill.
