Prater Island, River islet in Lehel, Germany
Description
Prater Island is an elongated river isle in the Isar that runs through central Munich with multiple buildings housing exhibition spaces and public areas. The island's landscape combines green spaces with structures dedicated to art and cultural activities.

The island has been inhabited since the early 1800s when a hotel was first built there. Over time it transformed into a center for art exhibitions and cultural activities.
Culture
The exhibition halls and courtyards host contemporary art shows and cultural events throughout the year. The island has become a gathering place where Munich's art community presents its work to the public.
Practical
Several bridges link the island to the mainland, with some reserved for pedestrians only. Parking is available near the riverside, and daytime visits allow you to explore the exhibition spaces and outdoor areas comfortably.
