Getting there

Closest Airport is GRZ with connections to many of the German airport hubs.

From the airport you can take the local "S5" train to Graz main station. On Sunday and Monday (public holiday) they run once an hour, otherwise every half hour. If you choose a destination in the city center, routing apps might suggest to switch from train to bus. Theoretically faster but far less convenient than going through the main station.

Closest not tiny airport is VIE. From VIE there are direct train services to Graz every couple hours, or hourly services with a change in Wien Hbf. Don't take the CAT (City Airport Train), that is just an express service into Vienna's city center.

Speaking of trains, you can also catch a (night) train to Vienna and then hop on a connection to Graz.

When you leave the main station through its main entrance, you will find busses to your left and the tram station to your right. Tram station is under ground but the stair case portal is pretty easy to see. Right side set of stairs/escalators lead to the platform for trams heading into the city. All of them run through the station at main square and the main tram connection hub called "Jakomini Platz".

Getting around

Graz has a magnificent tram and bus network. You can get tickets at ticket machines at some stops - or at the bus driver, trams have a ticket machine inside.

It is also possible to buy tickets with the local public transport app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.upstream.grazmobil&hl=de_AT https://apps.apple.com/at/app/grazmobil/id1368430213?l=de&ls=1

Week long tickets are available both in the app and at the ticket machines. There are ticket machines at the train station tram stop (see above for how to find the tram stop).

Tram line 6 stops at the university campus where this happens. Closest stop is called "Schulzentrum St. Peter": https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3789094988#map=19/47.059706/15.464292 About 2min walk from there to the buildings our rooms are located in: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27758183
