Everyday

From market to market, across the Mur into Gries

What does everyday Graz look like on both sides of the Mur?

The walk starts among the farm stalls on Kaiser-Josef-Platz, crosses the Jakominiplatz transit hub and the Hauptplatz, then switches riverbanks: Gries is arriving Graz, cheaper, more mixed, full of shops from everywhere. Two markets, one bridge, and the city’s whole range in between.

Who this walk is for

For anyone who puts everyday life before scenery: to know where Graz shops, waits and lives, walk this on a Saturday morning.

Good to know

Jakominiplatz and Griesplatz are loud and unvarnished: this is everyday life, not a postcard. For quiet, live a lane away and keep both markets within walking distance.
