What travelers are saying
- Daniel SBrisbane225 contributionsWe visited in March 2024, and took the train from the departure point in town. There is a carpark attached to this, and they can validate your ticket for cheaper parking.
It is a little pricey, but very much worth it for the experience. There were many other people visiting as well, but it didn't feel too crowded once up there.
We first went to the very top - where it was quite cold and windy! I think -5C, and there was plenty of snow and ice around. The ground outside the building was quite icy, and my kids struggled to make it 20m to another section (where they quickly turned around and came back - too cold and no gloves!). We had a lovely/pricy hot chocolate here, then headed to the next level down.
The next level down was much better - little wind, sun was shining, and plenty of snow!! We had an absolute ball playing in the snow, and watching some keen skiers/snowboarders take advantage of the March snow cover. There were some kids equipment (toboggan, snow bike etc) in a play area, which everyone took advantage of and had a brilliant time.
I would highly recommend visiting this attraction when in Innsbruck!Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The views of the mountains and colorful buildings were my favorite.Written March 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MSantoni2019Orlando, FL29 contributionsWe were very surprised how much we enjoyed this visit to the church. Each statue is a work of art. It is very impressive. We had already visited a lot of churches during our visit but this one stood out with its ceiling and ornate symbols.Written March 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MSantoni2019Orlando, FL29 contributionsVery well maintained castle and museum with a nice love story.

- Traveler OWashington DC, DC1,122 contributionsThe city central street with plenty to see as it opens into a pedestrian friendly square with sites to see, eateries, and shops.

- Kamal PByron Bay, Australia3,561 contributionsThe golden roof so popular in Innsbruck was a spectacular sight during the day with gold plated slate like pieces that adorn the roof creating an attractive glow. This decorative roof made the building to stand out from the rest making it a landmark. It is unique in some sense.Written March 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Catherine GNice, France1,267 contributionsThis church is very imposant and very nice outside and inside. The interior is baroque style and the ceilings are splendid. I recommend this visit.Written September 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anoncat A6 contributionsDefiniely one for those intetested in the intricacies of the heirarchies of Europe. Stunning paintings and a look into the world of nobility, although would have been nice not to have as many darn chairs! Very interesting look into everyone from Henry 8th's wife, the Habsburg dynasty, and Archduke Franz Ferdinand whose assasination started WW1.Written March 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel SBrisbane225 contributionsThis visit came included in our Nordkette tickets, so we stopped in on the way down the mountain.
The maps were a little underwhelming, and the zoo is built on a hill so expect lots of uphill walking! There were plenty of animals to see, and they seemed to be all local to Austria. The aquarium there was huge, with plenty of fish.
The biggest attraction (for my kids at least) was the brown bear - and we weren't disappointed!
It's worth visiting if you are doing the Nordkette trip too. The kids will love it.Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Located on the 2nd floor of a shopping centre (easy to find) in the old town I was the only person going through at my time slot.
The Experience Tirol show was outstanding. Hologram characters took me through the history of Tirol to the present day. I sat in a carriage beside Emperor Maximilian as he talked about his day to day life. We travelled through the Old Town where I recognised the buildings and watched everyday people go about their lives. I was left wanting more.
I learnt about the revolution, famous artists and writers. Traditions and pass-times of the Tirol people throughout the 4 seasons. I flew over Innsbruck and drove a VW down the new motorway.
Suitable for young an old it’s a great way to see Innsbruck from a different perspective.Written February 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- opal98London, UK198 contributionsFrom Maria Theresien Street, we boarded bus line J and arrived at Patscherkofelbahn (last stop). We walked straight to the gondola and had it all to ourselves. You don't need to be packed like other cable cars. The gondola was clean and comfortable, making it a relaxing experience to admire the breathtaking views all around while sitting. Once you're up, you'll be treated to awe-inspiring views. The mountain can be explored through various trails. Das Kofel is a charming cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating, but the service was below average. I wonder how it will during busy summer times as cafe was not busy at all when we were there. There is a small playground for children as well as toilets.
I strongly recommend this gondola ride.Written October 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
