Hi, Yes there are regular trains from Vienna-Graz. From Graz it is very easy to take a taxi to the Arnie museum in Thal. There will be taxis outside Graz station. I was stopping in a hotel in central Graz, and if I remember right, the taxi took around 25 minutes to reach the museum, and cost around 20-25 euros. Thal is a bit 'in the middle of nowhere' so I would recommend you ask your taxi driver to return at a set time and pick you up. I spent about an hour in the museum (I would call myself a big fan). Within a few minutes walk is a lakeside pub which serves food, and also St Jakob's church which is worth seeing for its most bizarre architecture which I just can't explain adequately. If you have time, on your return journey I recommend stopping at Schloss Eggenberg, from where you can easily take an efficient tram service back to the station.

we did go by train and then bus it was so easy you don't need a car at all... the train was 2 hours but the views are amazing on the journey then hopped on bus for 10mins the another one for about sane time... bus drivers help too.

Yes there is - it has some interesting memorabilia but could be much better!

HI - it is a 2.5 hour drive from Vienna - alternatively 2.5 hours train from Vienna to Graz and then 15mins by car. It is located outside Graz, in Thal. A good idea would be to combine it with a visit to Schloss Eggenberg which is a 5 min drive nearby.

Hi There, The location is about 20 mins away from Graz centre by car - it is a very quiet village with no traffic and beautiful country roads. The address is Linakstraße 9, 8051 Thal, Austria. Visit the website arnieslife for more info, but if you have GPS you can easily get there. We went in the morning during the week and there were maybe 10 visitors at the same time. 1 hour should be enough. I suggest you visit the magnificent Schlosss Eggenberg castle which is just 5 mins away. Good Luck.

Hi there! For planning purposes, Salzburg is about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Graz, the largest city near the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum. The Museum is open Monday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., last entrance 4:30 p.m. I believe any day of the week would be a good time to go. When I went, it was not super busy. Don't forget to head into Graz and go to Arnold's first/original gym, where it all began! The owner's name is Kurt Marnul, a friend and mentor to Arnold, who was also a former Mr. Austria. The attendants at the Museum will give you directions. Enjoy!

We visited on a Saturday at approx. 3.30 pm and no one was there - but we noticed the kid working there closed after we left which was little over 4 pm because no one was there so i guess he did not want to wait until 4.30 om :) Advise would be not to wait until 4.30 to enter :) Opening times: Monday - Sunday, 10h-17h Last admission: 16:30 As of 01/06/2014: every Saturday and Sunday tours of the museum, Start: 11 °°. Punctuality is asked! You're son will enjoy this. Happy travels.
