Two-day rail city break to Graz, Austria from Switzerland
railtour suisse offers this two-day, one-night rail city trip from Switzerland to Graz, in Austria's Styria region. The train journey takes between 8 and 10 hours depending on where you start, with a direct night train running daily from Zurich, or day trains with one or two transfers, for example via Innsbruck, from other Swiss stations. In Graz, the highlights include the view from the Rosenhain park, the Kaiser Josef Market, the Clock Tower on the Schlossberg, shopping on Herrengasse, and Eggenberg Palace, a Baroque UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010 with more than 500 ceiling paintings. The trip suits independent travellers happy to plan their own sightseeing without a guide.
What to know before you look closer
- The evidence does not mention a hotel for this two-day, one-night city trip; the single night may be spent on the direct overnight train from Zurich rather than in a Graz hotel, so confirm the overnight arrangement with railtour suisse.
- A direct night train to Graz only runs daily from Zurich; travellers departing from other Swiss stations instead take day trains with one or two transfers, for example via Innsbruck, so journey times and overnight arrangements vary by departure point.
