Innsbruck in winter: The Tyrolean state capital Innsbruck is one of the most famous cities in Austria. Due to its alpine location, Innsbruck is often snow-covered in winter and impresses visitors from all over the world.
A walk through Innsbruck's old town is a must, even in winter. With a bit of luck you can experience the old town at night when it is snowing, an unforgettable experience. During the Christmas season - December - there is a Christmas tree in front of the world-famous Golden Roof and all the streets are decorated for Christmas. A Christmas market takes place on the square in front of the Golden Roof.
We continue from the old town directly into Maria-Theresien-Straße, which is largely a pedestrian zone. Time for a photo or selfie in front of the Anna column. At the end of the famous Maria-Theresien-Strasse is the Triumphal Gate.
The market square and the old Inn bridge are also worth a visit. From here you can get another view of the historic house facades with the Inn in the foreground and the impressive Nordkette in the background.
If you spend a little more time in Innsbruck, you shouldn't miss Ambras Castle. Just 15 minutes away by public transport, this historic castle is a true gem. In winter, the gardens transform into a picturesque winter landscape that invites you to take a leisurely stroll. The castle also houses a fascinating museum that will delight every culture lover with its historical exhibits.
