Can also take Tram 6 but we couldn't figure out where to get it - also we were told it'll involve a bit of walk once you get there. The Spanish hall is the highlight and pretty amazing. The portrait galleries - is extensive and gets a bit monotonous. Not the most distinguished looking building - worth checking out if you have the time.

The museum is full of portraits, furniture,glass, and armory. If you have a baby bring a baby carrier because there's many steps and you will not be able to bring the stroller up. There is change tables all around and the gardens is a great place for your kids to run around. There is a small café and an ice cream shop on the grounds.

We could stay in the same room but explore different artifacts at our own pace. The family ticket for 16 Euro was great and included the church.

From the owner: Die Hofburg in Innsbruck mit einer Gesamtnutzfläche von 26.300 m² und einer Gesamtkubatur von rund…read more110.000 m³ zählt mit Schloss Schönbrunn und der Wiener Hofburg zu den drei kulturell bedeutendsten Bauwerken Österreichs. Im Gebäude befindet sich in den Kaiserappartements das Museum mit ca. 2.150 m², das Museumscafé sowie diverse Veranstaltungsräume. Die kaiserliche Hofburg zu Innsbruck, nach der Andechser Burg an der Innbrücke und dem "Neuhof" der dritte und endgültige Burgplatz der Landesfürsten, ist nicht nur das größte Baudenkmal der Stadt und ein Hauptwerk der Maria-Theresianischen Epoche, sondern blickt politisch und kunstgeschichtlich auf eine noch größere Tradition zurück. Sie ist unter Maximilian I. (1459-1519) und dessen Enkel Ferdinand I. (1503-1564) die Hauptresidenz der deutschen Könige gewesen und hat unter Ferdinands Sohn, Erzherzog Ferdinand II. von Tirol, eine letzte Blüte erlebt, bevor sie nach fast zweihundertjähriger Stagnation durch die Kaiserin Maria Theresia (1717-1780) ihre heutige Gestalt erhielt.

The church with all the cast iron statues is dramatic looking and unique. There is a small garden…read morewith some chair to sit on. They sell tickets for the church and museum separately the latter mainly gives you the chance to go upstairs and look down into the church. A quick visit unless you are interested in identifying all the statues - names all listed on the brochure.

We found this place after researching what there is to see and do in Innsbruck. Based on that…read moreresearch, I knew about the tomb in the center of the church and that there were statues around it, but that was about it. Actually going here, I was much more impressed than I thought I'd be. The church itself appears to exist solely to honor the former Austrian (Tyrolean?) kings and queens. The statues around the tomb are very detailed and a little larger than life. The tomb in the center has scenes carved in marble on its side. I don't think I've ever seen marble so intricately carved; it was beautiful. Since that wasn't enough, at the back of the church, there are stairs leading to the Silver Chapel. This was not what I was expecting either. The first half of the chapel was bare, but had the ceilings and maybe walls painted red. The second half was blocked off, but was more traditional. It had some alcoves and an altarpiece made of a dark wood and silver. This is the only silver in the Silver Chapel. Regardless, it was still good to see. As good as this place was, we had to pay I think €7 each to get in and see this church. I've been to countless churches throughout Europe and this is the only one I remember having to pay to get in. Other than that though, it was great.
