Innsbruck: Tickets for Schloss Ambras

1. Innsbruck: Tickets for Schloss Ambras

The wonderful World of the Renaissance Schloss Ambras is one of the most important sights of Innsbruck. At Schloss Ambras you can immerse yourself in the life and the passion for collecting of the Renaissance prince Ferdinand II (1529 - 1595): Discover his chamber of art and wonders (Kunst- und Wunderkammer), his armories, and his Antiquarium. Admire the Habsburg portrait gallery with paintings from the time of Albrecht III (1349 – 1395) to the reign of Emperor Franz II (I) (1768 – 1835). The exhibition holds more than 200 paintings of the great masters, including the most valuable works of Lukas Cranach, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Peter Paul Rubens, Anton van Dyck and Diego Velázquez. The Chamber of Art and Wonders (Kunst- und Wunderkammer) at Schloss Ambras The Chamber of Art and Wonders (Kunst- und Wunderkammer) of the Renaissance is an encyclopedic, universal collection, which contains the entire knowledge of the time. The collection contains not only outstanding works of art such as the Tödlein, but also scientific objects such as the attachment with compass (Aufsatz mit Kompass), objects from distant countries, such as the "Ryukyu bowl" (Ryuku-Schale), rare products of nature, corals, portraits of people who were considered "miracles" such as the hairy man (Haarmensch) and fascinating games as well as unusual musical instruments. The Armories In the Armories, among other things, you will find rare tournament armor, ceremonial armor for courtly feasts, the armor of famous generals and the Turkish Chamber (Türkenkammer) of Ferdinand II, which documents both the fear of the Turks and the enthusiasm for the Orient in the 16th century.

From Salzburg: Innsbruck and Swarovski Private Day Tour

2. From Salzburg: Innsbruck and Swarovski Private Day Tour

Your private day tour will be either in a minivan (up to 8 passengers) or Mercedes sedan (up to 3 passengers), and are happy to adapt the private tour according to your personal interests and individual needs. The first stop will be at Wattens, where the famous Swarovski Crystal World will amaze you. Enter a realm of fantasy inspired and designed by some of the greatest artists in the world. Immerse yourself in this magical place, which blends modern art and ancient history. You will be able to explore for around two hours. Continuing through the gorgeous Inn valley, the tour then heads to Innsbruck, capital of the federal state of Tyrol, and famous for hosting two Winter Olympic Games, as well as being an internationally-renowned center for major sport and cultural events. You will spend about 1.5 hours in the city, enjoying some free time strolling through the historical old town, and visiting Innsbruck’s landmarks - the famous ‘Golden Roof’, the Imperial Palace and the local Folklore Museum. As an alternative, instead of visiting the city, you may prefer to see the famous ski jump Bergisel, with its breathtaking view of the Nordkette mountain range. Other options are also available, but whatever you choose to do, your day in the Alps will be an unforgettable one.

What people are saying about Innsbruck

Beautiful home, beautiful and well-kept gardens. I recommend that you consider being able to stroll and relax in the gardens as well as being able to take a little hike in the woods along the stream. You can access the wood from the gardens immediately next to the building, just follow the sound of the water. Inside the castle there is a bar with tables indoors or outdoors and a small shop (a bit expensive) for souvenirs. Visits to the internal rooms end at 17.00, the park remains open until 21.00. Completely satisfied. Total time of the visit 2 hours/2 and a half hours if you want to walk around and take pictures, 1 hour if you intend to visit only the internal rooms.

Beautiful castle and garden. To see everything calmly it takes at least 2 and a half hours. The only flaw: the voucher must be exchanged for the ticket at the cash desk and this does not save you any queue. Plus they want to print and the booking screen with code on the phone is not enough !! To find out first, I took the ticket there directly.

What a wonderful place. I spent there more time than I expected :-) Lots of exhibits and lots of information in German and English. The grounds are beautiful too.

pleasant visit, large well maintained castle. the park looks very beautiful but helps the rain prevented us from visiting it

A beautiful castle with a great history. It's a must!!
