Staying in the Centre of Graz
Graz's city centre, known locally as the Innenstadt, is the compact historic core of Styria's capital and one of the best-preserved Baroque old towns in Central Europe. The area is anchored by the Hauptplatz, the city's main square, and stretches toward the Schlossberg, the forested hill topped by a medieval clock tower that serves as Graz's most recognisable landmark. UNESCO recognised this historic centre in 1999, and walking through it makes clear why: the architecture is layered, human-scaled, and largely free of modern intrusions. Staying here means you can reach almost every major sight on foot, and the main train station (Graz Hauptbahnhof) is a short tram or taxi ride away.
Accommodation options in the centre cover a wide price range. Budget-conscious travellers can find well-rated aparthotel-style rooms from around 70 euros per night, while those looking for a more characterful stay can choose from several 4-star boutique properties, including one designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid. The area is lively during the day and busy with restaurant-goers in the evening, so it works well for leisure stays. Families, couples, and solo travellers all find the neighbourhood accessible and easy to navigate, with good tram connections on Herrengasse and Jakoministrasse linking the centre to the rest of the city.

Is the Graz city centre a walkable area for tourists?+
Yes, the historic centre of Graz is very walkable. The Hauptplatz, Herrengasse, the Kunsthaus Graz, the Murinsel, and the Schlossberg elevator are all reachable on foot from most centrally located hotels within 5 to 15 minutes. The streets in the old town are largely pedestrianised, which makes walking comfortable. For destinations further afield, the city's tram network is easy to use and well connected to the centre.
How far is the Graz city centre from the main train station?+
Graz Hauptbahnhof is roughly 1.5 to 2 kilometres from the Hauptplatz, the heart of the city centre. By tram, the journey takes around 10 minutes using lines that run along Annenstrasse and into the centre. By taxi or rideshare, it is typically a 5 to 10 minute ride depending on traffic.
