Where to stay in Puntigam
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Industry sets the tone in Puntigam, and much of the ground goes to works and yards rather than to hotels, so rooms turn up singly instead of in clusters. That has its uses. Trade visitors take what beds there are, and the streets around Saint Leopold III Church stay quiet once the working day ends.
Anyone here for the wider city books central Graz instead.

About Puntigam
What are the main landmarks in Puntigam?

Works and yards hold a large share of the Graz industrial base, so the district reads as a place of production first and of sightseeing second.

Puntigam came last. Of the seventeen districts of Graz this one is the newest, and the ground it covers carries a large part of the city's industry rather than its civic architecture. The churches are the exceptions.
Saint Leopold III Church and the Church of the Holy Cross remain the named heritage of the district, standing among the streets that run between the industrial plots of this corner of Styria.
