The 13 Best Graz Tours & Tickets

1.Kunsthaus Graz Museum Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 19 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $15Our pick

Visit Kunsthaus Graz with a paper entrance ticket and spend about two hours exploring changing contemporary-art exhibitions from Austria and abroad. You set the pace, move through galleries on your own, and can add an audio guide for €3. The museum is near Graz’s historic center and public transport.

“I visited Kunsthaus Graz today and saw the Voice exhibition (don’t remember the full name) among other exhibitions, an experience I won’t forget soon. The building itself is already surreal, like a blue heart resting in the middle of Graz. Inside, the exhibition about voice was strange, a bit eerie even. Dark rooms, whispered sounds, disembodied voices, it felt like the art was speaking to me, or maybe through me. Some moments were unsettling, others deeply moving. Not your usual gallery visit, but that’s what made it so interesting.”

4.Fun & mobile scavenger hunt through Graz

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $26

This self-guided Graz riddle rally takes you from Schlossberg through the Mur Island, Rathaus, opera, Freiheitsplatz, Uhrturm, and Jakominiplatz. Use your charged phone, follow Google Maps, solve questions, and pause whenever you like. It is offered in English, suits private groups, and can be played for up to one year.

“Interesting idea, poor interface. The system apparently did not interact properly with an iPhone on an American account. The tips button simply didn’t work at all. Unless the question used direct material from the historic site itself, one would need an Austrian education to get Austrian historical trivia. My guess is that the hints make it possible for foreigners to play, but we simply don’t know because it wasn’t functional. We finally gave up in frustration.”
