The sooner you book, the better. You're more likely to land a cheaper rate on a Graz hotel and have a wider range of choice when you plan in advance.
However, you could still come across last-minute deals. Although prices usually rise closer to your stay, some places drop rates a day or two before to fill empty rooms, especially during low season.
