What you will see in Innsbruck during a Sightseeing tour
If you’re someone who adores the mix of alpine serenity and urban sophistication, Innsbruck in Austria is a symphony written just for your senses. As you embark on a sightseeing tour of this historical city cradled in the Tyrolean Alps, your days will be filled with an array of breathtaking vistas, architectural marvels, and cultural hubs that teem with life. From the splendor of the mountains to its majestic landmarks, Innsbruck offers a picturesque adventure at every turn.
Historic Old Town (Altstadt)
Prepare to stroll through the cobblestone alleys of the
Altstadt, where medieval splendor converges with contemporary comforts. Here, the famous landmark, the Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl), bedecked with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles, will captivate your gaze. This emblem of the city, adorned in the year 1500 to mark the wedding of Emperor Maximilian I, is a must-see and a perfect spot for a memorable photo.
Imperial Palace (Hofburg) and Court Church (Hofkirche)
As your adventure continues, you will be guided to the Imperial Palace, known as Hofburg, which is one of the three most significant cultural buildings in Austria. This palace, with roots tracing back to the Gothic era, underwent a Baroque transformation that speaks volumes of its royal heritage.
Just a stone’s throw away, the Court Church, or Hofkirche, houses the cenotaph of Emperor Maximilian I, which is
surrounded by 28 magnificent bronze statues that stand as silent guards to his memory.
This region's rich history is encapsulated within these sacred walls.
The Nordkette Range
Looking for a rendezvous with Mother Nature? Delight in the awe-inspiring views from the Nordkette Range, part of Austria’s largest nature park, the Karwendel Nature Park. Reachable by a funicular from the city center, it only takes 20 minutes to transport from the urban charm to the heart of the alps. Check out the
higher altitude terrains where you’ll find visitors skiing in the winter or hiking during the summer months.
Bergisel Ski Jump
Sports enthusiasts will be thrilled to visit the Bergisel Ski Jump. An architectural masterpiece, this ski jump is not only a venue for international sporting events but also affords a panoramic terrace that provides a
360-degree view of Innsbruck and the surrounding peaks.
Swarovski Crystal World
A short ride from Innsbruck will take you to a sparkling fantasy land, the Swarovski Crystal World. Its curious chambers of wonder, crafted by artists and designers from around the world, present a crystal experience that transcends the ordinary.
