Graz can be explored between old-town rooftops and contemporary architecture. The Schlossberg offers an overview, while the Kunsthaus and Murinsel show modern approaches to urban space. A free day after a trade fair or a whole weekend can follow this contrast. Choose your cultural visits first, then plan journeys from your specific hotel on Conrad-von-Hötzendorf-Straße.

Hotel details and booking
02Conrad-von-Hötzendorf-Straße 96, opposite the fairgrounds and Stadthalle
Graz Messe has a clear event focus: the hotel stands directly opposite the fairgrounds and Stadthalle. Choose this hotel when that venue determines your trip. Plan any additional old-town sightseeing as a separate city outing during the stay.
Hotel details and bookingThe Schlossberg and clock tower provide a useful introduction to Graz. Plan both ascent and return deliberately, considering your interests, the weather and your mobility.
The Kunsthaus and Murinsel provide a modern counterpart to the old town. This focus suits visitors interested in present-day urban design as well as the city’s historical façades.
Business visitors can use free time for a clearly defined city outing. Compare the two hotel addresses against your event entrance and the route into the centre.
The Schlossberg offers orientation over Graz and a walk in its own right, with the clock tower as its familiar landmark. Choose your ascent or a suitable transport option using current information. Include the return journey and time at the top, rather than planning solely around a panoramic photograph.
The Kunsthaus represents contemporary Graz and rewards a close look at its exterior shape. If contemporary art interests you, check the exhibition programme too. This lets you distinguish between an architectural stop and a longer interior visit rather than assuming that one automatically includes the other.
The Murinsel is an artificial platform anchored in the river and connected to both banks by walkways. It turns moving between the two sides of the city into part of the experience. Consider the structure and river setting together; food services or events are optional additions to check separately.
Start with the Schlossberg and clock tower, choosing ascent and descent according to your needs and current operating information.
Continue to the Kunsthaus for the exterior or a planned exhibition visit. Leave space for a break between stops.
End the city outing at the Murinsel and neighbouring riverbanks, then check the return connection to your exact hotel address.
Both PLAZA hotels are on Conrad-von-Hötzendorf-Straße but have different street numbers. Use the booked address when travelling. Check connections from the main station and to the trade fair or centre for your particular day. Use the full address of your chosen hotel when planning your route.
