Habsburgs and Mountains: Free Walking Tour

A bit about myself, I love the austrian alps and have lived for a long time in Salzburg and decided to move to Innsbruck to get a different perspective of the mountains that I learned to love. I have been guiding for over a decade and love to connect with people on my tour.

On this free walking tour you'll discover Innsbruck’s charming Old Town in which history, culture, and local stories are brought to life. Stroll past the famous Golden Roof, wander through medieval lanes, and trace the footsteps of emperors, merchants, and mountaineers who shaped the city. Along the way, you’ll uncover hidden corners, quirky legends, and explore Innbruck in all it's glory.

Whether you’re here for the Alps, the architecture, or the atmosphere, this tour is the perfect introduction to the heart of Tyrol.

The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes

Guiding since 2022

Hey all! I’ve been a tour guide for 12 years, first I did bike tours, afterwards I got my tour guiding license and since then I have been doing free walking tours. Also about me, I love being outdoors, staying active, and exploring culture and history. As a passionate traveler myself, I know how much more rewarding a city is when you really understand it. I enjoy connecting with fellow travelers and helping them experience the heart of this place.
