A must-do in Innsbruck
Geert v, Feb 2025
Beautiful castle with incredible collection of weapons and armor. The “ Wonder Room” was very varied and contained a wealth of beautiful unique curiosities.

You can get here in less than 20 minutes by bus. The castle consists of two parts: below there is a very impressive exhibition not only with armour, but also many of what has come to Austria through cultural contacts from other corners of the world. In the upper part, two floors are closed for renovation. Here are interesting examples of home decor, such as the bathroom and the stateroom. Nice park!

Ample parking space. On arrival it is not very clear where to start. Inside it is freezing but really freezing cold. Even with winter coat. Wherever you walk in, you are followed by staff and they are watching you extremely closely. Interesting slot but not worth 5 stars.
Don't leave Innsbruck without seein this!

One of the coolest things you'll see in Tyrol. The exhibit ranges from methodical collection of knightly armor to an absolutely eclectic gathering of "all that's cool" circa 1600s. The collection is fifficult to describe. Think of if it this way: it's 17th century and you have to make a gift for a man that literally has everything; what would it be? You really want to know? (Go and find out.)
Itinerary
Schloss Ambras Innsbruck
Explore the wonderful world of the Renaissance and visit Castle Ambras (Schloss Ambras) in Innsbruck. Situated in the hills above Innsbruck and visible from afar, the castle is one of the provincial city's most popular attractions.
Be amazed by the impressive jousting armor suits in the Armory Cabinets (Rüstkammer), glance at the artifacts in the Chamber of Art and Curiosities and see the bathing facilities used by Philippine Welser, which will give you an idea of the 'spa culture' in the 16th century.
Admire the stunning Spanish Hall, one of the most beautiful Renaissance halls of its kind in the world, and see the famous Habsburg portrait gallery. Habsburg Archduke Ferdinand II ordered the redesign of the original fortress for his wife Philippine as well as the construction of another building to accommodate his valuable collections.
