Bratislava → Vienna Airport
VIP class
Graz is Austria's second-largest city and the capital of Styria. Its old town and Eggenberg Palace are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the city is known for the Schlossberg hill with its Clock Tower, the modern Kunsthaus, the Murinsel on the river Mur and a lively student atmosphere. Graz is also a major business and university centre, so many people travel there from Vienna for work, studies or a weekend break.
The distance from Vienna to Graz is approximately 200 km. Here is a comparison of the main travel options.
Private transfer by car
The fastest route follows the A2 Süd Autobahn through Lower Austria and Styria. In normal traffic the trip takes approximately 2 hours. A private transfer can pick you up anywhere in Vienna or at Vienna Airport and take you directly to your hotel, office or university in Graz.
- Direct door-to-door journey without changes.
- Comfortable for business travellers who want to work on the way.
- Plenty of space for luggage, bikes or sports gear.
- Possible stops, for example at a thermal spa or in the Styrian wine region.
Train
Austrian Railways runs frequent long-distance trains from Wien Hauptbahnhof to Graz. The route crosses the famous Semmering railway, a UNESCO site with spectacular mountain scenery. The journey usually takes approximately 2.5 hours. Trains are comfortable and reliable, but you still need to reach the station and get from Graz main station to your final address.
Bus
Several coach operators connect Vienna and Graz, with travel times of approximately 2-2.5 hours depending on traffic. Buses are an affordable option and often depart from central locations in Vienna. However, departure times are fixed and luggage space can be limited.
Tips for your trip
Traffic on the A2 can be heavy on Friday afternoons and at the start of school holidays.
If you drive yourself, you need an Austrian motorway vignette.
Graz has a compact old town that is best explored on foot, so ask to be dropped close to the centre.
Combine your trip with a visit to the Riegersburg castle or the thermal spas of eastern Styria.
