events and wave of return

On Easter Saturday, the "Masters of Dirt" event takes place in the city hall Graz, with shows at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. In Graz itself, traffic jams are particularly expected on Conrad-von-Hötzendorf-Straße, the Jakominigürtel and Münzgrabenstrasse. Visitors should use the parking space -related options such as the Fryglichgasse underground car park and the exhibition center and take an arrival by public transport.

In addition, on April 19, a concert by Tarkan is on the program in the Vienna Stadthalle. Excited traffic disruptions exist on the new building belt, Hütteldorfer Straße and the streets of the Nibelungenviertel. Here, too, garages near the town hall are recommended as parking. Public transport such as the U6 as well as tram lines 6, 9, 18, 49 and bus line 48a offer a good connection.

On Easter Monday, a wave of return is expected, which will lead to traffic jams on the same routes as on Friday, but in the opposite direction. The ARBÖ advises you to compete early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the increased traffic density. In addition, longer waiting times at the limits, such as at Heiligenkreuz/Rabafüzes, Klingenbach/Soprone and Nickelsdorf/Hegyeshalom, cannot be excluded.
