💡 Tips
- If visiting the massive Shopping City Seiersberg on a Saturday, arrive right at opening time to secure a good parking spot.
- Combine shopping with nature; the Gedersberg area is just a few minutes away for a quick forest walk.
- Use public transport from Graz: buses frequently run from the city center directly to the shopping mall entrances.
- The area is quite spread out, so having a car or bicycle is recommended for exploring Pirka and the surrounding nature.
🍽 Food
Pick up a bottle of authentic 'Kernöl' at the local produce section inside the mall or from nearby farmers.
The Shopping City features everything from quick Asian noodles to classic Austrian cafes under one roof.
Drive slightly west into the hills for a traditional cold meat platter (Brettljause) at a local wine tavern.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
With hundreds of stores, it's the ultimate destination for fashion, electronics, and lifestyle goods in the Graz area.
Look for specialized food stalls inside the mall complex offering Styrian specialties.
Drive up the Gedersberg for quiet forest trails and a lovely view over the Graz basin.
Find the former clay pits in Pirka that have been reclaimed by nature, well-suited for a peaceful walk.

Seiersberg-Pirka was established on January 1, 2015, as part of the Styrian municipal structural reform through the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Seiersberg and Pirka. The community is located directly southwest of the state capital, Graz, and serves as one of Styria's most important economic locations. The dominant feature is the Shopping City Seiersberg, one of Austria's largest shopping malls, which attracts millions of visitors annually. Beyond its commercial significance, Seiersberg-Pirka also features attractive residential areas and recreational spaces in the surrounding forests and hills. Historically, the region was rural for a long time but rapidly transformed into a suburban hub due to its proximity to Graz and excellent transport links (A2 and A9 motorways). The municipality places great emphasis on modern infrastructure, educational opportunities, and active community life. The blend of urban lifestyle and rural tranquility makes it one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the Graz metropolitan area.
