Tips & Advice

  • Leave your pram or buggy in the buggy box at the Hauptplatz boarding point before you climb aboard for the loop through the old town.
  • Allow about twenty minutes for the ride, which starts and ends at the Christkindlmarkt on Hauptplatz, so you can pair it with a market stroll.
  • Groups planning a party or company outing should email bummelzug@suessersteirer.at, since private rides only run outside the train's regular operating hours.
  • Plan an earlier ride on Christmas Eve, when the train stops running sooner than on the other days of the season.
