Murinsel

Graz


Murinsel is a constructed island-cum-bridge of metal and plastic in the middle of the Mur. This modern floating landmark contains a cafe, a kids' playground and a small stage. Even if you don't stop in, it's a great little detour that brings you up close to the fast-flowing river.

Transportation

  • tram: 1, 3, 6, 7 Südtiroler Platz
