Let’s explore 10 things to do in Innsbruck.

Wander around Altstadt von Innsbruck (Old town).

The Altstadt is the old town center of Innsbruck and stands as one of the main attractions. With some of the buildings standing for over 500 years, there is a great deal of history surrounding this area and a large amount of effort has been put in to maintain the medieval details etc.

See Ambras Castle.

This fine Renaissance castle is one of the most popular attractions in the area around Innsbruck and was home to the important historical figure Archduke Ferdinand II.

Explore the Imperial Palace (Hofburg).

The Hofburg is a fine piece of architecture and stands as a highly significant building in Austria.
Constructed in the 1400s, this striking palace has a brilliant white façade with green-domed towers and a beautiful interior.

Ride the Hungerburg Funicular.

Due to Innsbruck’s location in the mountains, there are several Cable car routes and Funiculars used as modes of transportation. The Hungerburg Funicular is one of the most impressive and serves as transport between Innsbruck city center and the Hungerburg district.

Experience Bergisel Ski Jump.

What could be more exciting than watching athletes speed down the 90m slope on their skis and gracefully glide off the edge and plummet to the soft snow beneath them? The Bergisel Ski Jump has been used at both the Olympic Games and the World Championships and is an impressive site.

Be amazed at Swarovski Kristallwelten.

The Swarovski Crystal World is a magical place and fills people with a sense of wonder and delight. For those who love the brand, or who love sparkling crystals, or for people who love vibrant and exciting displays, this is the place to visit.

Have a day at Alpine Zoo.

Plenty of cities have a Zoo, but what sets Innsbruck’s Alpine Zoo apart from the rest is its concentration on mainly indigenous animals of the area and animals that live in mountainous areas.

Visit the Cathedral of St. James.

Cathedrals often stand as central points in a city or as a recognizable landmark; St. James’ Cathedral is no exception.
Its front facade stands out with two green-domed bell towers and a striking Baroque design, while the interior has all the typical trappings and decorations one would expect from an important religious building. The ceilings and domes have beautiful artwork and details, while the main altar is lavished with gold and marble and creates a wonderful centerpiece. Finally, on top of all this, the Cathedral also contains the tomb of Archduke Maximillian III (Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights) and eight working ornate bells.

The picturesque Tirol Panorama.

Not to be confused with the view (which is breath-taking nonetheless) the Tirol Panorama is a 360-degree painting that depicts the famous battle of Bergisel where the Tirol rebels fought off Napoleonic invaders. The painting and museum are situated where the actual battle took place and are a great way to learn about the history of this area and the struggles the Tyrolean rebels persevered through. The actual quality and artistic acumen of this immense 10,764 square foot painting are fabulous and the scenes that it depicts really are interesting.

Admire Maria-Theresien Strasse.

Stretching from the Triumphal Arch to the Old Town, this street is one of the busiest in Innsbruck and has a wide variety of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants and also holds great historical significance in the city. Part of the street is fully pedestrianized and it is the perfect place to take a stroll, or maybe enjoy a drink while admiring the beautiful architecture lining it. The Triumphal Arch, St Anne’s Column, and the Chapel of St. George are all located on or in close proximity to this street also so there is plenty to do and see.
