Skip the Line: Castelo de Ambras em Innsbruck

Tripadvisor maintains the same rates as Schloss Ambrass itself. I just find it very nice that you can save the tickets with Tripadvisor in your Wallet. The venue was not aware that the tickets could also be bought via Tripadvisor. That caused a bit of a commotion at the entrance. We still had to exchange the Wallet ticket for paper entrance tickets and pay 3 euros pp for the audio guide. The people of the manor were friendly and very helpful. So in the end, everything turned out well. The castle itself focuses mainly on works of art, armor, and there was an exhibition of glassware. Less on rooms/halls and decoration. The park around the castle is beautiful (if you travel by bus C you get out at the bottom of the park and walk up in 15 minutes (we are not that fast 😉)). It is a fairy-tale-like environment.

An impressive site if you like everything related to history, more specifically the Renaissance. Many paintings, armor, weapons, representations, objects from the era, and everything explained so that you get into context. You have history of Austria, Portugal, Spain, France, and Germany, more oriented toward their leaders or relevant figures of the era.

Easy to access location by bus. Excellent historical information and artifacts. We visited Ambras castle first and found after visiting other historical spots in Austria that this was one of the best both in displays and price. Seeing Ambras Castle first was a good foundation for the historical sights in Salzburg and Vienna. One of the most interesting collections of historical items I saw

I did not expect to see so few things: the armory was very interesting, but for the rest: a lot of stairs and no furnished room.

Nice but it could have been better if they would have given me the Audio translator as contracted. The German in the woman receptionist just wanted to argue

The Whitaker Inn couldn't have been a nicer experience. It's a beautiful inn on lovely grounds, north of the Purdue and downtown area. Our room (the Japan room...each is based on a country) was comfortable, clean, and attractive. Our (included) breakfast was chosen by us the night before with a checklist that had so many choices...and was absolutely delicious. Patrons have the option to have breakfast in their room or in the dining room. We also had reserved dinner (not included) for the night of our arrival (which needs to be selected in advance). They are many choices. We both chose salmon, loaded baked potatoes, and a salad...all delicious! There are games and puzzles, as well as a pool table. There are rocking chairs outside in front as well as comfortable chairs and couches in the living room area. The best part of the Inn is the friendliness and warm welcome from the staff. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful really not to be missed, the ticket costs 18 euros free up to 18 years with friendly and helpful staff there is the possibility of audio guide. The rooms are really nice and just as the gardens we were really happy, the only flaw is the paid parking with reduced spaces on the street. However I recommend everyone to visit it if passing through Innsbruck.

Audio tour very interesting. Great information. Staff in all areas were very nice and helpful. I’d recommend to anybody.

Super well maintained property with everything. Great story. Is definitely worth a visit, whether alone or in a group

Ambras Castle in Innsbruck not to be missed and, in my opinion the most interesting visit than Innsbruck offers. Full ticket 18€ and up to 19 years free with audio guide highly recommended to immerse yourself in the history and magnificent collection of Archduke Ferdinand II who donated Castle and land to his wife Philippine Welser in order to guarantee him for life the status, since the morganatic marriage was secret precisely because she did not have noble rank. The ticket office with very kind staff who offered explanations also in excellent Italian from also the opportunity to buy souvenirs for souvenirs. The spectacular gardens with royal peacocks that run undisturbed in a fairytale setting. 💕
