Top Austrian Alps Museums

Swarovski Crystal Worlds is one of Innsbruck’s must-visit attractions, but its location outside of the city means you need to plan ahead. Save your precious vacation time by securing your entry ticket in advance along with a ticket for the shuttle bus. With the logistics organized in advance, you can focus on the crystal-themed attraction itself, which is part art gallery, part retail park. Gardens, hand-mounted crystal installations, and contemporary art beckon.

Discover the enchanting world of crystal at Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens, where you can immerse yourself in various exhibits and attractions like The Giant's gardens and the mesmerizing "Crystal Cloud," featuring 800,000 hand-mounted crystals. Venture into the “Chambers of Wonder” for an extraordinary experience that showcases crystal in a way you've never encountered before. Wander through the museum’s gardens to see distinctive art installations, and bring your children to enjoy the play tower—a creative outdoor playground designed for kids of all ages with ample space for climbing and playing. An onsite café and restaurant near the gardens boast stunning views of the surrounding scenery while offering a memorable culinary adventure filled with unique flavors for visitors to savor.

On 512 square metres, 60 minutes of the best entertainment awaits you in the Tyrol department store, in the middle of Innsbruck. Five rooms that will captivate you. Travel with us to the highest peaks of Tyrol. Experience the history of this country up close. Be there when a ski jumper jumps down the mountain hill or the mountain fires burn on the horizon. Let Emperor Maximilian show you his Innsbruck around 1500 AD. Glide across the seemingly endless maple floor or give yourself completely to the fascination of art from Tyrol. All this coupled with the latest technologies such as virtual reality, holograms, 360 degree projections and much more are waiting for you, your family and friends.

Widely considered among the finest fortifications in Austria, Tratzberg Castle sits in a forested location in the Tyrol mountains, with sweeping views over the hillside scenery. With this entry ticket, step inside Tratzberg Castle on an audio-guided tour and find out for yourself what makes it special. Delve 500 years back in time, discover top castle attractions including the Habsburg Hall, and admire the impressive collections of art, armor, and more.

Reach a 2,334-metre Alpine summit straight from Innsbruck's city centre with three connected cable cars and around 30 minutes of climbing views with you're entry tickets. The Nordkette journey is one of the most remarkable in the Alps, beginning underground in the Old Town aboard the Hungerburgbahn. From Hungerburg, the Seegrubenbahn cable car sweeps you up the mountain face to the Seegrube at 1,905 metres, where a sun terrace and restaurant look out over the whole city. The final Hafelekarbahn then lifts you to the ridge of the Karwendel — Austria's largest nature park — where a short summit path ends at the Hafelekarspitze, 2,334 metres: the Top of Innsbruck. The reward is a genuine 360° panorama: Innsbruck and the Inn Valley a vertical mile below on one side, the wild limestone ranges of the Karwendel stretching away on the other. Walk the ridge, spot ibex on the slopes, linger over coffee at the summit restaurant, or time your descent for golden light over the rooftops.
