The 13 Best Graz Tours & Tickets

1.Kunsthaus Graz Museum Entrance Ticket

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

Use your printed Viator confirmation to enter Kunsthaus Graz, the blue Friendly Alien beside the Mur. Explore changing contemporary art exhibitions from Austria and abroad at your own pace. Allow about 1 to 2 hours, or longer if several shows catch your attention. Audio guides cost extra.

“One of the most interesting buildings in the city, very close to the historical center. There are always multiple art galleries or exhibitions and they change time to time. When we visited, we saw Camera Austria - Destroying Photography, Poetics of Power and 24/7 Work Between Meaning and Imbalance. The entrance price is fair. The visiting duration would change from person to person but on average I would say 1-1.5 hours.”

4.Fun & mobile scavenger hunt through Graz

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

Use your charged phone to solve location-based riddles around Graz, starting at Schlossberg and visiting Mur Island, Rathaus, the opera, Freiheitsplatz, Uhrturm, and Jakominiplatz. Play in English, pause as needed, and finish at your own pace with no app download required.

“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.”

It ended up taking us a good few hours because we kept finding lovely looking cafes & shops on the route to stop off at. We thought we had already seen most of Graz but we discovered so much more with this . Great fun too solving the clues. We will def be doing more of these when we visit new areas. Great value for money too.”
