Getting to the conference

From Graz Hauptbahnhof train station to the conference: Take bus number 58 or 63 (leaving from the same stop, on your left as you walk out of the train station by the main exit).

Bus 63 (to Eisteichsiedlung): get off at “Attemsgasse” or “Universität”; from Attemsgasse stop, cross the street (Goethestaße), follow Attemsgasse to its dead end, and continue in a straight line on campus.

Public transportation in Graz

Unfortunately, the public transportation system in Graz switches to "holiday schedule" (Ferienfahrplan) for the summer on July 5, which means that hours of operation will be shorter, and the intervals between busses/streetcars longer than usual. Consult the schedules posted at bus and streetcar stops.

Tickets

Single ride: Euro 1.60; sold on streetcars and busses (by the driver); valid for 1 hour on any combination of streetcars, busses or trains in the zone of Graz (which also contains Graz Thalerhof airport).

10-ride: Euro 12.40; valid for 10 rides (1 hour each) in the zone of Graz; available at (almost) any “Trafik” (tobacconist), at the train station, from the ticket machine at the bus stop outside the airport and at GVB ticket offices, see below. It is essential that you punch the 10 fields on the ticket in the order as marked, starting with field 1. Once field 10 is punched, the whole ticket is invalidated. (The reason for this is: the tickets are valid in all of Styria, which is divided into fare zones; one punch at field 10 on an otherwise empty 10-ride buys a trip spanning 10 zones.)

7-day-ticket: Euro 7.90; valid on 7 consecutive days (midnight to midnight) starting on the day it is punched, transferrable; available at the train station, from the ticket machine at the bus stop outside the airport, at some Trafiken (tabacconists) and at GVB ticket offices, see below.

Ticket offices

You can get any kind of GVB (Graz public transportation) ticket at

Hauptplatz 14 GVB-office (next to Landesreisebureau) Mon-Fri 8-17
Jakominiplatz GVB-office in the round glass building, Mon-Fri 6-18:30, Sat/Sun 7-23:30;

On Jakominiplatz you can also buy a map of Graz with all busses and streetcar lines marked for Euro 1.80. (Not to be confused with the schematic map of public transportation in Graz (on a much larger scale), which is available free, but doesn't contain steet names.)
