Itinerary
The Triumphal Arch is one of the most famous attractions of Innsbruck. Located at the end of Maria-Theresien-Straße, the monument is unique. Built in 1765, Triumphpforte has been made of stone instead of wood and became a memorial of Archduke Leopold's marriage.
Maria Theresien Street was founded 700 hundred years ago. From a few local farms, it became a wonderful shopping street with amazing Baroque architectures. From cute outdoors cafés to medieval buildings, you'll be able to walk by its great history.
The next step of this tour will be the great St. Anne's Column. Built-in 1704 by Cristoforo Benedetti, the sculptor chose red Kramsach marble to make the column. Around the monument are four statues of saints; Saint Anne, Cassian, Vigilius and Saint George.
The Hofkirche, also called Court Church, is a Gothic church and cenotaph. It has been built in 1553 by Emperor Ferdinand I as a memorial to his grandfather. Inside are the amazing cenotaph and remarkable German Renaissance sculptures.
The Stadtturm is a magnificent watchtower of the 15th century in the old town of the city. After 133 steps in an antique spiral staircase, the nature panorama from the observation deck is enchanting.
Also called the Goldenes Dachl, the structure has been made in 1500. The roof has been decorated with fire-gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I's wedding. The Golden Roof is a beauty for the eyes with its decorated balustrades retracing the Emperor's life.
The Baroque cathedral is from the 18th century. Three amazing domed vaults and a dome with lantern are hidden inside. Dom St. Jacob is also the place where two Christian treasures are: Mary of Succor's painting and the canopied tomb of Archduke Maximilian III.
Known as the Court Garden, the spacious park is on the edge of the Old Town. You will love walking by its ponds, playpark and palm house. This last one contains more than 1,700 species of plant and hosts art exhibitions during summer.

About Innsbruck
Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, lies in a valley of the Inn River, with steep Alpine peaks rising directly behind its medieval old town.
Innsbruck sits in the broad Inn valley, so close under the limestone wall of the Nordkette range that cable cars carry people from the old town to the mountain slopes in minutes. Its arcaded streets lead to the Golden Roof, a balcony covered in gilded copper tiles, built around 1500 for Emperor Maximilian I. The Hofburg palace and the Hofkirche, with its row of bronze statues around Maximilian's cenotaph, stand close by.
Top-ranked sights in Innsbruck: Swarovski Crystal Worlds (Swarovski Kristallwelten), Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl), Maria Theresien Street (Maria-Theresien-Strasse).
