It was a very pleasent stay with two of my kids at a place catsitting. Nice city and trips to the surrounding nature with hills, caves and this fancy cathedral. We went to the cityhill with the towerclock and went downhill on a slide. That was fun.

I feel most people are nice here. I recommend the mountain Schöckel. As a Chinese I’m not used to eating traditional food in Graz but Italian restaurants never disappointed me. Every meal cost about 10-30 Euro. I rent a room for 500 Euro a month because i have to work here for one year

Graz is really safe and beautiful city. I am living it in here for 2 months and i am happy in here. If you want to travel around city you should use bikes. It is way easier and cheap way of doing it. I think you will enjoy here!

I think as a local, that Graz is very safe, only at Night in some Parks you Need to take care of drugdealers. The Area around postgarage is a Little Bit creepy as a Woman.

Graz is pretty safe there are some areas like Gries and Lend and around the main train station that arent as safe at night but comparable with other cities its still safer there! Just dont get into any altercations and try not to talk to the people at main train station at night

I would say it‘s really safe. I walked home in the middle of the night so many times and never had any problems or felt unsafe. I mean it also depends on where you are but I haven’t felt unsafe.

Graz is a safe city for women to walk alone, as long as you don’t walk alone in parks very late at night. It has a young atmosphere with many students, and the city is very safe. However, no place is 100% safe, so always stay cautious.

I can work comfortably alone at any time, even in dark suspicious tunnels. I have never seen public violence or seen men harrasing women. Just once a drunk guy said sth to me as he passed me by on a crowd.

Graz is not a very dangerous city at all, Vienna is far worse and even Vienna is great compared to other cities in the world. Just like everywhere there are creeps in Graz that will catcall you but neither I nor any of my friends have ever had any problem after just continueing walking, just ignore the creeps, they're probably just drunk out of their mind. Also, again just like in every bigger city, there are places to avoid if you want to limit risk and avoid danger, in Graz that place would...

About me

I'm Lea, I'm 18 going on 19 (I'm a virgo). I'm from Graz in Austria and my goal is kinda to see as much of the world as possible before responsibility gets a hold of me / society collapses, whatever comes first. My Insta: travel.tauschi My friends are my chosen family and I love them so much, just like I love my parents and my cat. Speaking of pets, if you dont like animals or they dont like you thats a massive red flag in my eyes. Also I'm more of a dog person (just because it fits my energy better) but I have had way more cats and I wouldnt trade my baby for anything. Overall I'd say I'm a pretty nice person once you get to know me, I really do have a resting bitch face but 99% of the time thats just my face and I'm neither angry nor pissed. I also clean up after myself well and dont care about living out of my luggage. I'm Interrailing all throughout Europe from the 20. July to the 20. September and I wanna meet as many new people along my route as possible!
