What are the Typical Costs and Availability in November?
November is generally shoulder season in Graz, just before the main Christmas market rush, so prices can be slightly lower than peak summer or December. Expect accommodation costs to range from an estimated €25-€45 for a hostel dorm bed, €70-€130 for a mid-range hotel room, and €150+ for luxury options per night. A budget meal typically costs €8-€15, while a sit-down meal at a mid-range restaurant might be €20-€40 per person.

What to Expect (Crowds, Events, Conditions) in November?
Crowds in Graz during November are generally low to moderate, with fewer international tourists compared to summer or December. The city begins to prepare for the festive season, with Christmas markets typically starting in late November (e.g., Hauptplatz and Joanneum Quarter markets usually open mid-to-late November). Conditions will be cold and potentially damp, requiring warm, layered clothing, a waterproof outer layer, and comfortable walking shoes. Daylight hours are short, so planning indoor activities or early starts is advisable.
What are the Best Activities for November?
November is ideal for exploring Graz’s rich cultural and culinary offerings. Focus on indoor attractions such as the Landeszeughaus (Styrian Armoury), Kunsthaus Graz (modern art museum), and the various museums under Universalmuseum Joanneum. Enjoy cozy evenings trying traditional Styrian cuisine in local restaurants. If visiting late in the month, experience the magical opening of Graz’s Christmas markets. Don’t forget to ascend the Schlossberg, either by funicular, lift, or on foot, for panoramic city views (dress warmly!).
