Innbrücke (Inn Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

A former bridge gave the city its name. Even today, there is still a popular meeting point near the bridge to look out over the river and the mountain range of the valley

Innsbruck Court Garden
Gardens have existed at the Innsbruck Hofburg for approximately 600 years. During this long period, they have undergone numerous transformations, from Renaissance and Baroque gardens to landscaped parks. Today, the Innsbruck Court Garden covers almost ten hectares and is a listed building.
As early as the beginning of the 15th century, Duke Friedrich IV acquired land near the Innsbruck Hofburg to create kitchen and ornamental gardens for the court. During the reign of Archduke Ferdinand II, a magnificent garden complex with Ruhelust Palace and other buildings was created from 1564 onwards, incorporating the old kitchen and ornamental gardens. Individual garden areas with fountains, arcades, pleasure houses, a maze, and a pheasant garden were created, modeled on Italian Renaissance gardens.
This initial period of prosperity was followed by a period of neglect in the 17th century. In 1636, a fire destroyed part of the buildings. Due to austerity measures following the Thirty Years' War, the Hofburg gardens were eventually barely maintained. In 1665, with the death of Sigismund Franz von Habsburg, the Tyrolean line of the Habsburgs died out. From then on, Innsbruck was governed by an imperial governor. The Court Garden now served as a kitchen garden.

It was not until the end of the reigns of Emperor Franz I Stephan and Maria Theresa that the Innsbruck Court Garden experienced a new flourishing. Starting in 1763, the existing area was laid out as a Baroque pleasure garden. A cross-axis divided the garden. At the intersection of the main and transverse axes stood the imperial pleasure house, built in 1733 and converted into a bandstand in 1773. The walled garden was adorned with parterres, circular paths, avenues, fountains, and sculptures. Near the Hofburg Palace was an orangery building, and towards the Inn River lay the small Court Garden or Governor's Garden.

Innsbruck Town Tower

Highlight • Monument

Innsbruck City Tower - Distinctive 15th-century watchtower
Look out over Innsbruck's rooftops like the watchmen of the Middle Ages did. For almost 450 years, they kept watch from the City Tower, warning citizens of fire and other dangers. The lower floors served as a prison. Visitors climb 133 steps to the 31-meter-high viewing platform. And not only can you see medieval alleyways, but also the Bergisel, Patscherkofel, the Inn, and the Nordkette mountains.
Distinctive 15th-century watchtower with a viewing platform and a copper-roofed onion dome.
