Let's take a journey through 30,000 years of Tyrol: The Ferdinandeum is a museum with a wide variety of art-historical works and cultural exhibitions. It houses an impressive collection from different eras and styles, including paintings, sculptures, drawings and archaeological finds

2The Hofburg
The imperial Hofburg Palace is a fascinating historical relic from the Habsburg Danube Monarchy. It can be mentioned in the same breath as the Hofburg in Vienna and Schönbrunn Palace. It was originally a castle from the late Middle Ages, but was converted into a palace in the early modern period.

Hidden beneath this breathtaking glass roof in front of you is one of Innsbruck's biggest attractions – the Hungerburgbahn funicular railway. Together with the Nordkette cable car, it makes it possible to get from the heart of the city to the majestic mountain world of the Karwendel Nature Park at an altitude of over 2,000 metres in just a few minutes. It's particularly popular with students in Innsbruck, who use the opportunity to go skiing or mountain biking during their lecture breaks or simply enjoy the 360° panorama and the warming sun.

4Dom zu St. Jakob
Tyrol is home to a remarkable number of Baroque church artworks that are worth admiring. Innsbruck's Cathedral of St. James is an outstanding example of this art form in all its splendour and was supported by talented Rococo artists from Bavaria.

5The Golden Roof
The Golden Roof is undoubtedly the most iconic and most frequently photographed landmark in Innsbruck. Whether it is also the most important, however, is a matter of differing opinion. Emperor Maximilian I erected a proper monument to himself in Innsbruck with the construction of this magnificent building and the impressive bay windows in 1500

6Ottoburg
This massive building along the River Inn is truly an old veteran in the historic city, and still exudes a mysterious medieval atmosphere. Originally a defence tower of a long-gone castle, it has been transformed over time to become a residential building – first for nobles and then later also for ordinary citizens.

7Maria-Theresien-Strasse
We have now left the old town and are in the "modern" centre of the city – welcome to Maria-Theresien-Straße, Innsbruck's lively promenade and shopping street

8Triumphal Arch (Triumphpforte)
The Triumphal Arch in Innsbruck is a spectacular blend of antique flair and modern splendour. Although it was only built in the 18th century, it looks like a larger-than-life relic of bygone eras

While the Golden Roof in the historic centre of Innsbruck represents the Middle Ages, this square, which is also known as Landhausplatz, stands for the modern Innsbruck of the last 100 years. Here, the Tyrolean capital has a truly metropolitan atmosphere – without the characteristic mountain views, you could almost think you were in Madrid or Berlin.
