Top places to visit

1. Seegrube Cable Car

For those of us who get tired of honking cars and bustling streets, and for those of us who crave green expanses and open skies, look no further than the Nordkette cable car. Within 20 minutes you can be hiking or skiing (depending on the season), or smugly enjoying a coffee at 1900 metres above sea level.

2. Hofburg

Having been a place of residence for the ruling Habsburg family for some four and a half centuries, this gothic palace is renowned for preserving their tastes and character. The lengthy restoration process has now been completed and the sense of 18th-century opulence shines out in all its glory. It’s not difficult to see why the Imperial Palace is considered to be one of Innsbruck’s sightseeing highlights.

3. Golden Roof

At the very heart of Innsbruck’s Old Town quarter, right in the central square itself, the Golden Roof or Goldenes Dachl has strong claims to being the city’s centrepiece. The glimmering gold tiles are framed by the brilliant white of the traditional Tyrolean buildings in the square and set against a backdrop of Alpine mountaintops, providing a picture postcard image for visitors’ photo-albums. Inside the building you’ll find a museum where you can learn about local history.

4. Bergisel Ski Jump

Although the Bergisel Ski Jump only took on its current appearance in 2001, the sleek and modern building became instantly iconic. Celebrated architect Zaha Hadid designed the new venue for ski jump competitions, creating a panoramic viewing platform that flows into the curve of the slope. Stand at the top of the ramp today to watch ski jump competitions or to explore a venue that also hosts two restaurants.

5. Court Church

Innsbruck’s Hofkirche, or Court Church, is a declaration of Gothic architecture in its own right but its real highlight is the extraordinary monument to Maximilian I. It’s almost as if the whole design is built up around his tomb and you can’t help but be drawn to it.
