Schloss Ambras Innsbruck

Due to the current regulation to contain the pandemic, the museums of the KHM Museum Association will remain closed until 23th March 2021! The wonderful world of the Renaissance The provincial sovereign of Tyrol, Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-95), son of Emperor Ferdinand l, ordered that the mediaeval fortress at Ambras be turned into a Renaissance castle for his wife Philippine Welser. He also commissioned the building of a separately designed museum complex to house his world-famous collections. Constructed according to the most advanced ideas of its time, it is an eminent precursor of our modern-day museums and has been preserved at its original site to this day. The armouries comprise rare examples of 15th century jousting armour from the collections of Emperor Maximilian I, suits of armour of famous 16th century commanders, the Archduke’s private armour, the armour of the court of Innsbruck, and weapons from the Thirty Years’ War.

This castle is one of the most beautiful we have seen on our tour in Austria. From Innsbruck you can get there after about twenty minutes by bus (we took a Hop on / Hop off, very comfortable and included in the Innsbruck Card). The Castle is surrounded by greenery and has a very well kept garden. There are two main buildings to visit, one connected to the entrance (with spectacular weapons and armor) and the actual Castle, to be reached with a short walk. The castle is impressive and was bought by the Archduke Ferdinand II, a true patron of the time. In the current exhibition, the organizers have tried to recreate the different rooms as they had been wanted by the Archduke: the Chamber of Art and Wonders (some even not politically correct by our current standards), the Chamber of Armor and the Antiquarium. In the upper castle there are houses as they were at the time of Ferdinando. The most sumptuous setting in the building is the Sala Spagnola, a 43 meter long banquet hall with frescoed walls and trompe l’oeil. Magnificent. There is also a section dedicated to the Habsburg portraits with over 200 portraits, made by famous artists like Cranach, Tiziano, van Dyck and Diego Velásquez. We went there on a very hot August day and at the end of the tour it was beautiful and very romantic to eat a sandwich sitting on a bench in the shade of the secular trees of the garden.

Altstadt von Innsbruck

Reviewed By Pudik - Tel Aviv, Israel

Magnificent city in mountain valley, fully remained it medieval atmosphere. Much less tourist than in others advertised places, very friendly, cozy, nice city. The hundred years old buildings, narrow streets and medieval towers on the mountains background - it worth to visit! A lot of museums and palaces available - or simply walk through pedestrian zone.

Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen

PANORAMIC MOUNTAIN The mountain at the heart of Innsbruck. The Nordkette is part of Austria’s largest nature park, the Karwendel Nature Park, and can be reached directly from Innsbruck city centre in just a few minutes! The breathtaking 360° view leaves a lasting impression, with the capital of the Alps on one side and Tyrol’s most extensive conservation area on the other. The Hungerburg funicular enables visitors to reach the Hungerburg in just 8 minutes. There are several stops along the way including the Alpine Zoo, which is a favorite among families. After reaching the Hungerburg station, a short walk across Hermann Buhl Square, named after the world-famous Austrian mountaineer, leads visitors to the cable car station. The Seegrube, at an altitude of 6,250 ft invites visitors and locals alike to relax, unwind and take in nature at its very best. Lying at an impressive 7,401 ft, the Hafelekar offers the most spectacular viewing experience.

Innsbruck is hemmed in on all four sides by the Alps, unfeasibly close, impossibly steep. And about forty minutes from the centre of town, by way of one funicular and two cable cars you are transported to what seems like the roof of the world. Make an amazing day of it, even as a non-skier, plenty of places to investigate at each stage of the ascent, pretty villages, the Alpine zoo, nice cafes and restaurants for a full and hearty Tyrol meal or a beer and a slice of apfelstrudel. And of course views to absolutely die for. Number one thing to do in Innsbruck by a country mile - and fully included in the excellent Innsbruck card. I really can't recommend this trip highly enough, and can't wait to do it again.

The Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl)

This famous balcony in Innsbruck's historic neighborhood was constructed out of gold to honor the marriage of Maximilian I and his wife.

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

The Old Town of Innsbruck is quaint and beautiful, and it's especially wonderful from late November to late December when it transforms into a Christmas market. The best part of the Golden Roof during this time is that musicians will come out to the balcony and play while everyone is enjoying gluhwein, currywurst, chocolate and whatever else they choose to indulge in.

In the middle of Tirol’s Alpine landscape, one is treated to a close-up look at the lifestyle of prominent Austrians of the past, such as Empress Maria Theresa and “Sisi”: Innsbruck’s Hofburg, one of the three most important historical buildings in Austria, was once a favorite residence of the Habsburgs.
