Voice of Travelers to Graz

Vacation to Graz

We took a vacation to Graz last September with my sisters. It had been a while since we had seen each other and we decided to visit Graz together. We went to search for the best airline for our air ticket. The cheapest ticket was from Swiss airlines was who had 20% off on their ticket during that time of the year. We rekindled our friendships in Graz as we had an amazing time there. Graz had several places to visit. We visited the Landhaus, Dom cathedral and Schlossbergbahn which was so hard to pronounce. I will be back to get a ticket soon.

School trip to Graz

The seniors in my school pressurised the students council into finally arranging a trip for us. The destination was Graz. We all got our visas and air ticket ready for the long awaited trip to Graz. The school negotiated our air ticket cost and we were given two airlines to get our ticket from. The trip to Graz was to be the last before we all separate and go to different universities. I was excited to go for the trip with my then boyfriend. The trip to Graz was amazing will not hesitate any opportunity to acquire a ticket back.
