LOCAL TIPS AROUND THE HOTEL

Innsbruck museums which you should visit

Not always imperial, but always interesting

As a former imperial residence (with a view of the Alps, mind you) Innsbruck was an important location in Austrian history. That's why there is a quasi second Hofburg with imperial apartments - as in Vienna. Especially Maximilian I was delighted with his Innsbruck. So delighted that he also wanted to be buried here: the Court Church is actually only there because of him - however he did not live to see the 40 statues, the "black men", which he wanted to have around his grave. Today only 28 remain. Rich ones too.

Castles and palaces in Innsbruck

For an hour, half a day or a full-day excursion.

Keeping children in a good mood in Innsbruck

In search of wow experiences for children

The Innsbruck Card also includes the Innsbruck Sightseeing Bus. It stops at most of the important points in and around Innsbruck and, while the parents listen to the audio guide, the kids can relax while looking out the window and enjoying a snack you have bought - until the next wow experience. Incidentally, the bus also stops right in front of the Austria Trend Hotel in Innsbruck!

Public viewing outdoors with festival feeling and beach vibes

Summer, sun, football - sounds like a perfect day

Most of the most authentic public viewings take place outside and start some time before the actual match with cold cocktails, beer and snacks. Do you want a beach feeling, a swimming pool to cool off or rather a garden where you can relax? Check it out, all that and more is yours to choose from!

Indoor public viewing with weather guarantee

The sun doesn't always shine in summer

Sometimes the weather just is not right, but that's not the only reason why it's not just worth watching the World Cup outdoors. Many venues in Vienna show the matches on large screens and make sure that you are completely taken care of while you watch. Burgers, beer and whiskey are waiting for you!

Imperial art & culture

With numerous Sisi exhibits

When visiting the Sisi Museum, I also recommend a walk through the Volksgarten, where Empress Elisabeth is immortalized in a quiet corner in the form of a monument. This former imperial rose garden scores every year with a flowering of 400 beautiful rose varieties.

Imperial cuisine

From imperial rolls to imperial pancakes

There are many anecdotes about the famous Austrian “Kaiserschmarren”, a traditional pancake dish. One of them goes as follows: in 1854 the Viennese court pâtissier created a new dish for the wedding of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Elisabeth of Bavaria. But Elisabeth - always thinking about her slim figure - spurned this sweet dish. The Emperor jokingly took Sisi’s plate and said with a smile: "Well then give me the “Schmarren” which our Leopold has created”. The Emperor (the “Kaiser”) enjoyed the taste of this sweet dish so much that it was known ever after as “Kaiserschmarren”.

Imperial shopping

Vienna’s souvenirs with a touch of craftsmanship

Particularly in the centre of Vienna you will find numerous shopping locations for “imperial” shopping experiences. These include many former suppliers to the imperial court, small manufactories which specialise in Viennese handicrafts, and numerous souvenir shops.

First the ball, then the burger

Charming beaches for hip lifestyle people who and want to indulge in epicurean delights after the game. It is a matter of taste as to which is the most beautiful beach.  Best to simply just try them all!
