Whether you’re starting university in Graz, a new job in Vienna, or chasing fresh experiences in Klagenfurt – the hardest part often isn’t finding an apartment.
It’s finding real friends.
Here’s the good news: You’re not the only one.
City Mates connects people like you – effortlessly, locally, and without any awkward dating vibes.
Let’s break down how to build connections in Austria’s most vibrant cities:
Graz is social, friendly, and perfect for casual meetups.
▶ Try joining a City Mates picnic, board game night or café meet-up – they’re super popular among students and internationals.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming – perfect for introverts and extroverts alike.
Vienna can feel overwhelming at first – but underneath is a buzzing social scene.
▶ Look for events in the 7th or 9th districts, where most City Mates gatherings for expats and young professionals happen.
A single pub quiz or walking tour can easily turn into a new crew of friends.
Klagenfurt is cozy, but not boring – and people are eager to connect.
▶ Why not host your own event? A hike to Lake Wörthersee or a brunch at Lendhafen can bring together awesome people – and City Mates makes organizing easy.
In smaller cities, the strongest connections are just one idea away.
New in Graz, Vienna, or Klagenfurt? You don’t have to figure it out alone.
