Join a private walking tour of Innsbruck and discover the historic parts of the city with a licensed guide.
First, you'll explore the Hofburg (Imperial Garden), and walk past the Imperial Palace to the Court Church with the funeral monument of Emperor Maximilian and his bronze "Black Men" (Schwarze Mander). Also worth a visit is the Baroque Cathedral of St. James. Its interior contains the famous painting Mariahilf (Mary of Succor) by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Admission to the cathedral is free, and visits are only possible outside of church services.
Afterwards, you'll stroll through the historic city centre to the former magnificent alcove balcony of Emperor Maximilian, the Golden Roof, the most photographed monument in Innsbruck. Your guide will lead you further through narrow alleys past colourful historic townhouses to the Inn Bridge. It connects the Old Town with Innsbruck's oldest district St. Nikolaus-Mariahilf. Here you'll enjoy the view of the colourful house facades with the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Nordkette in the background.
There is also modern architecture to discover in Innsbruck, including Zaha Hadid's futuristic-looking stations of the Hungerburg funicular, the new House of Music, David Chipperfield's Kaufhaus Tyrol or the town hall galleries by Dominique Perrault. The tour ends on Maria Theresien Street with its magnificent buildings in baroque style, the St. Anne's column and the Triumphal Arch as a crowning finale.
