Old town, museums and city tours
One of the finest folk-culture collections in the Alps, a few steps from the Hofburg and open every day. Perfect for anyone curious about how people in the mountains really lived, and lovely in the weeks before Christmas, when the nativity cribs feel right at home. The Court Church next door needs its own ticket.
Starts inInnsbruck city centreAll year
The museum sits in a former Franciscan monastery in the centre of Innsbruck, beside the Court Church (Hofkirche) a few steps from the Hofburg. It is open daily from 9:00 to 17:00, last entry 16:30.
The highlight is the Stuben: complete wood-panelled parlours rescued from Tyrolean houses, from Gothic through Renaissance and Baroque to Rococo. You walk through them as if visiting a series of homes across four centuries.
From there the rooms move on to nativity cribs, carved masks, folk costumes and objects of everyday faith and craft. Themed rooms set the festive customs beside the harder side of daily life in the mountains.
Many objects stand without glass so you can look closely, and marked tactile pieces in the first-floor parlours may be touched. A free app guides you room by room, and there is a café on the ground floor. Allow an hour to an hour and a half.
In winter
The nativity cribs and carved masks make this a natural visit in Advent, a few minutes' walk from the old town Christmas market. It is open daily, free on 24 December (9:00 to 16:00), closed on 25 December and 1 January, and closes at 14:00 on 31 December.
In summer
Open daily from 9:00 to 17:00, so it is easy to fit in around the Hofburg and the old town, and the old parlours are a cool place to spend an hour on a hot afternoon.
This is the Tiroler Landesmuseen's own ticket at the €9 standard price, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. If you also want the Court Church and its bronze figures, which you enter through this museum, ask at the desk about the €14 combined ticket instead.
