Tips & Advice

  • Head for the heated seating area in the Steirerhütte when you need to warm up between stalls on a cold evening.
  • Take a seat in the historic sleigh for a break and a photo, since visitors are invited to sit in it.
  • On weekdays, browse the shopping stalls first, since the food and drink stalls open later in the afternoon; on weekends both open together.
  • Look for the largest painted Christmas bauble on the square, which decorates the market along with the historic sleigh.
  • Combine this stop with other markets on foot, since all of Graz's Advent markets are in the city centre within easy walking distance.
