Innsbruck


Innsbruck is the capital city of the federal state of Tyrol in western Austria. It is located in the Inn Valley at the junction with the Wipptal, which provides access to the Brenner Pass, some 30 km south of Innsbruck

Innsbruck – that is city AND mountains.

And that’s what we want to show if you have just one day to discover the city. If you walk from Maria Theresien Street into the Old Town, then it’s all spread out before you – the beautiful Medieval buildings of the Old Town, the famous Golden Roof glinting in the sunlight and, towering above it, the 2,000 metre-high peaks of the Nordkette mountain range.

Take a pleasant stroll through the arched passageways of the Old Town that offer wonderful protection on a rainy day and a wealth of little shops offering everything from culinary keepsakes, to fashion both traditional and trendy, to intricate handicrafts. Feel like a spot of exercise? Then, weather permitting, climb the steps of the city tower – the view is quite spectacular. The Golden Roof is just a few steps further away, and you can visit the magnificent „Helblinghaus“ which, with its Rococo facade, forms a striking contrast to the Medieval buildings. You should still have plenty time for a visit to the cathedral and, if you leave the Old Town in an easterly direction, you’ll find yourself in front of the magnificent „Hofburg“ imperial palace. There won’t be enough time for a tour but what you shouldn’t miss is a look at the „Hofkirche“ (imperial church) right next to it where you can see the empty tomb of Emperor Maximilian I and the over-dimensional bronze figures known as the „Schwarze Mander“ (black men).
