Innsbruck: City Tower Entrance Ticket

8. Innsbruck: City Tower Entrance Ticket

Look out over the rooftops of Innsbruck as the tower guards once did in the Middle Ages. Discover how guards kept watch from the City Tower for almost 450 years, warning citizens of fire and other dangers. The lower storeys also once served as a prison. Today, the tower is there for visitors to enjoy. Over 133 steps lead up to the 31-meter-high viewing platform, which overlooks the medieval streets of Innsbruck and offers stunning views of Bergisel, Patscherkofel mountain, the River Inn, and the Nordkette mountain range. Learn about how the City Tower is a good 50 years older than the Golden Roof. It was completed in 1450 on the side of the old town hall. It doesn’t seem huge in comparison with modern buildings but 51 meters was very impressive in 1450 and the tower was a proud symbol of the self-confidence of the people of Innsbruck. The onion dome was added 100 years after its completion. Today, the tower still rises up majestically from amongst the medieval buildings in the old town – providing a good vantage point and a romantic view of Innsbruck. For a romantic experience, take the tour at sunset during the summer. During winter, listen to the tower trumpeters play from the balcony of the Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof) whilst the Christmas markets can be seen below. Please note that as the City Tower is a historic building and its existing form has to be preserved, there is no lift and you can only reach its top by climbing 133 steps.

What people are saying about Innsbruck

Tandem paragliding Tirol: I absolutely loved it and would do it again! Five stars! I did it in the winter spring transition season but still the temperature on that day was 0 degree C. The top of the mountain was covered fully with ice. I was not aware of the kind of shoes we use for this sort of activities and ended up with a regular running shoes. Peter was kind enough to offer me hiking shoes of my size. He was very good with communication as he has been doing this for more than a decade. It is important to do this with an experienced pilot and I was lucky to choose Peter. The flight experience was surreal and freaking cold. We had a long and perfect flight, however. If you have any doubts you can ask Peter even before making the trip. Enjoy the once in a lifetime experience if you are doing this for the first time! SRK

Excellent. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SNOW BOOTS AND SNOW SHOES/SPIKES. I hired mine in town before going. Couldn’t do this without them. The last cable car is 16:00 so time the walk appropriately. It took me 3hours for a round trip.

We really enjoyed the show. They have a great overview of the different traditional instruments, musical styles and dancing. I loved that the finale included music from the countries of all the people in the audience.

The most amazing Paragliding experience. Peter was great at explaining everything. I will definitely will do this again in the summer.

Truly enjoyed the dinner and show. The performers were enthusiastic and talented. It was a wonderful evening! I highly recommend.
