An extensive [[public transport]] network makes Graz an easy city to navigate without a car. The city has a comprehensive bus network, complementing the [[Trams in Graz|Graz tram network]], which has six lines. Four lines pass through the underground tram stop at the central train station (Hauptbahnhof) and on to the city centre before branching out. Furthermore, there are eight night-time bus routes, although these run only at weekends and on evenings preceding public holidays.

The [[Schlossbergbahn (Graz)|Castle Hill funicular (Schlossbergbahn)]], and the [[Castle Hill lift (Schlossberg lift)]], a vertical lift, link the city centre to the [[Schlossberg (Graz)|Castle Hill (Schlossberg)]].

From the central train station ([[Graz Hauptbahnhof|Hauptbahnhof]]), regional trains link to most of Styria. Direct trains run to most major cities nearby including [[Vienna]], [[Salzburg]], [[Innsbruck]], [[Maribor]] and [[Ljubljana]] in [[Slovenia]], [[Zagreb]] in [[Croatia]], [[Budapest]] in [[Hungary]], [[Prague]] and [[Brno]] in the [[Czech Republic]], [[Zürich]] in [[Switzerland]], as well as [[Munich]], [[Stuttgart]], [[Heidelberg]], and [[Frankfurt]] in [[Germany]]. Trains for Vienna leave every hour. In recent years many railway stations within the city limits and in the suburbs have been rebuilt or modernised and are now part of the [[Styria S-Bahn]], a commuter train service connecting the city with its suburban area and towns nearby.

[[Graz Airport]] is located about {{cvt|10|km|0}} south of the city centre and is accessible by bus, railway, taxi and car. Direct destinations include Berlin, [[Düsseldorf]], Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Vienna and Zurich.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.flughafen-graz.at/en/flug/flug-reiseinfo/destinationen.html |title=Flughafen Graz :: Destinations|access-date=21 August 2015|archive-date=7 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150907231342/http://www.flughafen-graz.at/en/flug/flug-reiseinfo/destinationen.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2021 a two-line [[rapid transit|metro]] system was proposed for Graz,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.railwaygazette.com/metros/two-line-automated-metro-proposed-for-graz/58606.article |title=Two-line automated metro proposed for Graz |website=Metro Report International |date=1 March 2021 |accessdate=18 April 2021}}</ref> which would make Graz the second Austrian city with a rapid transit system after Vienna.
