10 Specialty Museums in Tirol That You Shouldn't Miss

April 6, 2022 Agatha Simes

Once known as The Land of the Mountains, the 10,000-square-mile province of Tirol is a wonderland of gushing rivers, lush meadows and rugged peaks. Fantastic hiking trails wind along paths through the Zillertal Alps. Famed resort towns confetti the mountainsides, including Kitzbühel, St. Anton, Ischgl and Seefeld, site of some events in the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games. Compact capital Innsbruck is a medieval gem. The Tirolean identity is strong: Expect to see lederhosen and feathered hats.

Museum der Voelker

Our society needs places that confront the way of life, diversity, ancient and present forms of coexistence of people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. This is not just about "amazement" but about making a connection with one's individual life and experience - and locating one's own views. The Museum der Völker is supposed to be a vibrant space addressing socially and culturally relevant topics.

Brauerei Schloss Starkenberg

Reviewed By JustRose_CH - Basel, Switzerland

Not only are the starkenberger beers excellent, a trip up to the brewery is well worth it! It’s a steep walk up but this makes for great views. You can enjoy a beer tasting as well. There is a restaurant on the same site and for the adventurous there is an opportunity to bathe in beer pools. The brewery seems like it would be a great place for any large events.

Burgenwelten Ehrenberg

Reviewed By teamfunannie - Concord, United States

We loved this. I had no idea this was at the top of the trail to the highline and this was my highlight. We had just gone to Neuschwanstein and boy I was not into that experience. THIS, though, WAS SO COOL> Very old ruins. And the stories about the stone worm and more. Just a cool place. Magical actually! I just felt like we don't have history likje this to touch in the US, except where some Native American stuff has been actually kept but mainly it is rebuilt examples, not the real thing. This was real and so cool. Beautiful. Long walk up kind of 20 minutes maybe? But steepish. It alone is free but you have to pay to park. And you have to pay for the highline.
