Personal spending habits

I bought my food in the cheapest store in town and hardly ever used the telephone because it was too expensive. The accomodationfee was much higher than at home and the drinks in cafes where very expensive compared to what I pay at home. Graz is a fairly big city and therefore I had to use the public transport every day. At home I don´t use it that much.

Personal comments

You can buy a second-hand bicycle for the time you are in Graz. They are fairly cheap and then you don´t have to use public transport. You can sell it again when you leave. Hofer is the cheapest supermarket in town but you can´t find everything there and you have to be carefull with vegetables (they might not be good anymore).Merkur is also cheap and you can find almost everything there.

Food was cheaper than in my home country. My flat was actually pretty expensive (330 €), it was only a room in a commune. Nightlife didn't cost so much, because there were hardly any entrance feesh and alcohol was pretty cheap. I spent more mony to travel than home, because Graz is so well located - I visited Venice, Prague, Budapest, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia and travelled across Austria.

Personal comments

I didn't get a "Bankomat card" from Steiermärkisch (don't know why) just a cash card, which I was able to use only in their automats - and it wasn't easy always to find one.. Get a "train card" from ÖBB and you will get some 50 % off from the ticket prices.
