Private Graz Christmas Market Tour: Markets, Views & Gastronomy

Escape Vienna for a day and discover the enchanting Christmas spirit of Graz, Austria’s second-largest city and a hidden gem for holiday travelers. Graz is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also Austria’s culinary capital, where Christmas markets are filled with regional delicacies and warm Styrian hospitality.

Stroll through the medieval Old Town decorated with lights, explore the famous ice nativity scene, and wander from square to square where each market has its own unique style. Ride the funicular up to the Schlossberg hill for panoramic views of the sparkling city below. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to local traditions and show you the best places to taste gingerbread, pumpkin-seed specialties, and mulled wine.

With its mix of art, history, and gastronomy, Graz offers much more than a market visit — it’s the perfect place to shop for unusual gifts, discover Austrian holiday crafts, and enjoy a magical Christmas escape away from the crowds.
