Innsbruck

Few cities in the world enjoy such a glorious mountain panorama, with the Dolomites to the south, and the Tyrolean peaks to the north and west. Here, in the heart of the Alps, this ancient city has always been an important trading crossroads thanks to its sheltered position on the broad River Inn, and it was from here that the Tyrolean Habsburgs ruled for several centuries.

As you explore, you will discover frequent reminders of Innsbruck’s imperial past – from the remarkable Goldenes Dachl to the imposing Hofburg Palace – and, whether the city is bathed in summer sunshine or cloaked in snow during your visit, you will be struck by the Baroque splendour of the Altstadt (Old Town), which remains the centre of life in this compact but bustling city.

Explore the city

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

Emperor Maximilian I, who reigned from Innsbruck in the late 15th century, left his mark on the city in the form of numerous grand monuments, not least the Goldenes Dachl (a covered balcony clad in 2,657 gilded copper tiles from which his courtiers could look over the square below) and the Cenotaph (an empty tomb surrounded by 28 impressive statues).

To help you to make the most of your time in the city, we provide notes for a self-guided walking tour of the Altstadt (Old Town), taking in these two monuments, the stately Hofburg Palace (the highlight of which is the opulent Giants’ Hall), a couple of museums and other key sights such as the onion-domed City Tower.
Beyond the Altstadt

Ambras Castle & more

Ambras Castle & more

If you have time, it is worth venturing beyond the Altstadt to Ambras Castle, a Renaissance palace built by Emperor Maximilian’s great-grandson, Archduke Ferdinand II, in the remains of a medieval fortress. Alternatively, you could take the funicular to the Alpine Zoo, which is home to a surprising array of birds, animals and reptiles – all of them native to the Alps – and which commands superb views over the city to the mountains beyond.

Accommodation

The hotel is ideally located for exploring the city. We provide suggestions for where to eat out in the documentation that we send you prior to your holiday.

Please note: most rooms in Austrian hotels are normally one large base with two mattresses/duvets. We refer to these as 'Austrian Twins' and they are locally regarded to serve requests for both double and twin bedded rooms. Separate twin beds or traditional double beds with one large mattress are rare and cannot be guaranteed.

Hotel Maximilian

Located on Marktgraben, this family-owned hotel provides a bright and modern base from which to explore Innsbruck. Hands-on owner Isolde Penz and her friendly staff more than compensate for the rather compact rooms. A very good breakfast is served in the attractive Tyrolean-style birchwood Stuberl. The hotel has a small bar and seating area, ideal for a night-cap after eating in one of the many restaurants on the doorstep.

The Leutasch Valley, Lake Achensee and Innsbruck are a really nice combination. All the hotels were first class, the walking was excellent and the scenery often stunning and by adding on extra days it could all be done at a leisurely pace. The weather varied, but it was never too hot and when it rained it could pour ... but only for a couple of hours. And the full sunny days were glorious. In short, a delighfully balanced holiday.

INNTRAVEL NOTE: This customer combined our walking holidays 'The Leutasch Valley' and 'Lake Achensee & its Mountains' with our city add-on in Innsbruck.

Moso - We loved the relaxed atmosphere and exceptional food at the Drei Zinnen. The staff were welcoming and friendly and I wish I could wake to that view every day! The hotel was spotlessly clean and ideally placed for access to all of the local activities, with plenty for both skiers and non -skiers alike to occupy themselves with. I would heartily recommend it to anyone.

Innsbruck - The staff at the Hotel Maximillian were efficient and helpful. I'm not sure I have ever seen such a clean hotel- the bathroom positively glistened! The breakfast offered both quantity and quality, with a wide choice of typical continental breakfast foods, plus very tasty egg, bacon and sausage for the cooked breakfast fans. Ideally situated for exploring the old town, there was a wide range of restaurants and bars within a short distance and transfer to the airport was very simple, given the taxi rank across the road.
