🕵️ The Story

Innsbruck is far more than just the "capital of the Alps." Here, where the rugged peaks of the Nordkette mountain range seem almost within reach above the magnificent Baroque facades, emperors and princes have left their indelible mark. But what lies hidden behind the city's glittering gold?

Why did Empress Maria Theresa celebrate both joy and sorrow at the Triumphal Arch ? What secret does the magnificent St. Anne's Column hold in the heart of the city's main thoroughfare? Why are there "black men" in the Court Church who aren't actually buried there? And which house in the Old Town was so important that it had a roof made of real gold?

Embark on a journey of discovery from the monumental triumphal arch, across the vibrant market square , to the legendary Golden Roof . Solve tricky riddles, uncover historical Habsburg gossip, and reveal the secrets hidden between the medieval walls of the Ottoburg and the modern glass facades of the Kaufhaus Tyrol department store . Innsbruck awaits your exploration!

🌟 This is what awaits you

This interactive scavenger hunt takes you through the beating heart of Tyrol. You start at the historic triumphal arch and work your way through the winding alleys of the old town.

You'll discover details that even Innsbruck locals often overlook – from hidden palaces like the Palais Trapp to the colorful houses of Mariahilf , perfectly reflected in the Inn River. Whether you feel the power of the Habsburgs in the Hofburg or enjoy the panoramic view of the Nordkette mountain range – Innsbruck will captivate you with its unique blend of tradition and modernity!

ixpirity - Tips

Strudel heaven in the old town 🥧☕

When you arrive at the Golden Roof, you simply must stop by Kröll's. Located on Hofgasse, they serve what is probably the best strudel in the city – from classic apple to hearty bacon strudel. Perfect for a quick bite!

Innsbruck from above: The City Tower 🏰🚠

Want the perfect 360-degree view? Climb the 133 steps of the City Tower. From up here, the narrow streets of the old town look like a toy world, and you'll have a direct view into the imperial heart of the city. An absolute must for amateur photographers!

Relaxing on the banks of the Inn River at Mariahilfzeile 🌈🌊

Take a moment in the market square. The colorful houses of Mariahilfzeile on the other side of the Inn River are Innsbruck's most photographed subject. Sit by the riverbank for a while, dangle your legs, and enjoy the sound of the Inn, with the rugged peaks of the Nordkette mountain range towering in the background.

Imperial relaxation in the Hofgarten 🌳👑

The Hofgarten is located directly behind the Hofburg Palace. If you need a short break in nature after solving all those puzzles, this is the ideal place. Here you can stroll beneath centuries-old trees, in whose shade the imperial family once strolled.
