Island or boat? It isn’t easy to tell with this extravagant steel construction by US-American artist Vito Acconci. The Island in the Mur, Graz was commissioned as part of the city’s role as Capital of Culture in 2003. What is clear is its function as a link between river and city, a wonderful place to drink coffee or enjoy a cocktail. With the river Mur swirling cheerfully by on both left and right sides, from the Murinsel you can appreciate a completely new perspective of the city of Graz.

Above the city, delight knows no bounds! And this from morning till evening too. Via the ‘Lift im Berg’ elevator you’re up there in a trice and can start the day with a latte in the morning sunshine. The glass walls, surrounding the tastefully designed aiola upstairs on Schlossberg hill, vanish underground when the weather is fine. Enchanting dining al fresco in the evening by moon and candle light. The aiola upstairs in Graz offers everything you could wish for: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Parks & Nature
There are several options for getting up the hill in the middle of town (with the Schlossberg funicular or the Schlossberglift) – a lovely and idyllic experience is doing it on foot.

Today they are called “The hanging gardens”. Numerous benches invite visitors to linger and surely everyone loves this romantic spot with its view over Graz.

A green island in the middle of the roofscape of Unesco world cultural heritage. During the day kids would storm the enormous playground next to strollers and bon vivants settling comfortably underneath chestnut trees and on park benches. In the afternoon and evening, Graz people love to meet here for an after-business drink at one of the cafés. And should you happen to have some nuts in your pocket, you’ll be able to make new friends amongst the park inhabitants – the local squirrels.

Augarten park, with its generous greens and vicinity to

The biggest historical armoury in the world!
Come face to face with the history of Styria at the Styrian Armoury. The gleaming armour and weapons of old stand rank and file here, preserved in near original state. The armoury’s task was to have ready the arms needed to defend the province from invaders, should the need arise. The five-storey building in Herrengasse was a weapons depot: today, you can truly immerse yourself in the extraordinary atmosphere of the armoury just as it was centuries ago.
