What would a trip to Innsbruck be without an extended stroll through the old town, a visit to the theatre or a concert? As small as Innsbruck may seem at first glance, its art and cultural offerings are just as extensive. Numerous museums such as the Folk Art Museum, the Armoury, the Tyrolean Provincial Museum or Ambras Castle offer an insight into the history of Tyrol. The Innsbruck Card offers free admission to all museums in Innsbruck.
You can also get discounted tickets at reception - for example for the Swarovski Crystal Worlds!
Tirol Panorama & Bergisel ski jump
The Bergisel is easily accessible by tram. The ‘Tirol Panorama’ is located there. Together with the Kaiserjägermuseum, it houses the largest work of art in Tyrol: the Innsbruck giant circular painting. The panorama painting shows the Tyrolean fight for freedom on 13 August 1809 in a breathtaking 360-degree view over an area of almost 1,000 m².
Afterwards, it is worth taking a trip to the Bergisel ski jump, which offers an incredible view of the city of Innsbruck. A competition of the Four Hills Tournament takes place here every year.
Discover the city of Innsbruck
The best place to start your tour is in the old town centre. Under the arcades you will find cosy cafés, souvenir shops and beautiful boutiques. From here, looking north, you can see Innsbruck's landmark, the ‘Golden Roof’ with the Nordkette mountain range and the Seegrube in the background. A visit to the Innsbruck city tower is highly recommended. Climb 148 steps to reach a viewing platform from where you have a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding mountains.
Tips Innsbruck region
Mint tower Hall
The medieval town of Hall is known for its salt mining and minting in the 16th century and is only 10 minutes away from Rum. An unforgettable experience is the climb up the legendary mint tower, Hall's landmark. Here you can marvel at the world's largest silver thaler in the Hall mint. The Europataler is fascinating with a size of 36 cm and a weight of over 20 kg of pure silver.
Nordkette Innsbruck
In just a few minutes from the city centre, you can reach the Nordkette, Innsbruck's local mountain with the Hafelekar, from where you have a breathtaking view of Innsbruck and the Inn Valley as well as the Karwendel Nature Park. This experience will leave you with lasting impressions. First you can enjoy a pleasant ride on the Hungerburgbahn cable car before taking the Nordkettenbahn cable car up the mountain at lofty heights. Once at the top, you can marvel at the view or venture up to the summit, the Hafelekar. It is not uncommon to catch a glimpse of the otherwise very shy wild animals in the mountains. And on the way back, you can make a stop at the Alpine Zoo.

To this day, this popular attraction, just a few minutes' drive from the Hotel Huberhof, has provided thousands of visitors with moments of wonder. An underground adventure exhibition with fantastic chambers of wonder takes young and old alike into a breathtaking world of sparkling fantasies.
