Itinerary
A stone triumphal arch that holds joy and grief in a single span: a royal wedding carved on one face, the sudden death of an emperor mourned on the other.
A slender column of red Tyrolean marble rising from the middle of the grand boulevard, crowned by the Virgin Mary and raised in thanks for a war that never quite reached the city.
Innsbruck's glittering emblem, a late-Gothic oriel balcony crowned with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles. Emperor Maximilian I built it around 1500 to watch the spectacles unfolding in the square below.
A 51 metre medieval watchtower crowned by a green Renaissance onion dome, with a panoramic platform that gazes straight up at the Nordkette peaks.
Innsbruck's exuberant Baroque cathedral, where twin copper-domed towers crown an interior swirling with frescoes and a tiny, treasured Madonna by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
The Habsburg residence at the heart of Innsbruck, where a late-Gothic palace of Emperor Maximilian I was reborn as a glittering Viennese Rococo court for Empress Maria Theresa. Its crowning glory is the Giant Hall, a ballroom of family portraits beneath a vast painted ceiling.
A solemn Renaissance church built to honour Emperor Maximilian I, where 28 towering bronze figures stand eternal guard over a magnificent tomb that holds no one at all.
The turquoise River Inn rushing beneath the bridge that gave Innsbruck its name, with a glowing row of pastel houses and the sheer wall of the Nordkette rising behind. It is the city's most photographed view, and the perfect place to end our walk.
