Overview

Innsbruck has mountains on every side and eight centuries of history underfoot — both turn out to be worth your attention.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Innsbruck on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Solve clues at the Hofburg, the Goldenes Dachl, and the medieval Ottoburg — imperial power, civic pride, and Tyrolean character
• Walk through the old town whenever you're ready, at whatever pace suits you
• Perfect for families, couples, and groups of any size

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.

The Alps will still be there when you're done — but start with the riddles.

The Hofburg

The imperial Hofburg Palace is a fascinating historical relic from the Habsburg Danube Monarchy. It can be mentioned in the same breath as the Hofburg in Vienna and Schönbrunn Palace. It was originally a castle from the late Middle Ages, but was converted into a palace in the early modern period.

Hungerburgbahn

Hidden beneath this breathtaking glass roof in front of you is one of Innsbruck's biggest attractions – the Hungerburgbahn funicular railway. Together with the Nordkette cable car, it makes it possible to get from the heart of the city to the majestic mountain world of the Karwendel Nature Park at an altitude of over 2,000 metres in just a few minutes. It's particularly popular with students in Innsbruck, who use the opportunity to go skiing or mountain biking during their lecture breaks or simply enjoy the 360° panorama and the warming sun.

Dom zu St. Jakob

The Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl)

The Golden Roof is undoubtedly the most iconic and most frequently photographed landmark in Innsbruck. Whether it is also the most important, however, is a matter of differing opinion. Emperor Maximilian I erected a proper monument to himself in Innsbruck with the construction of this magnificent building and the impressive bay windows in 1500

Ottoburg

This massive building along the River Inn is truly an old veteran in the historic city, and still exudes a mysterious medieval atmosphere. Originally a defence tower of a long-gone castle, it has been transformed over time to become a residential building – first for nobles and then later also for ordinary citizens.

Eduard-wallnofer-platz

While the Golden Roof in the historic centre of Innsbruck represents the Middle Ages, this square, which is also known as Landhausplatz, stands for the modern Innsbruck of the last 100 years. Here, the Tyrolean capital has a truly metropolitan atmosphere – without the characteristic mountain views, you could almost think you were in Madrid or Berlin.
