garden in Innsbruck

Hofgarten Innsbruck

Also known as Hofgarten

The Hofgarten is the park that separates the Innsbruck Hofburg from the Nordkette mountain range, with the Karwendel peaks rising directly behind the trees on the garden's northern edge.

Innsbruck’s Hofgarten is the former imperial garden north of the Hofburg palace, originally laid out in the 15th century and redesigned as an English landscape park in 1858. Free entry; always accessible. The view north from inside the park to the 2,334-meter Nordkette mountain rising directly behind the trees is one of the most dramatic urban-alpine compositions in Austria. The small palm house dates from the 19th century. Summer concerts in the pavilion; check local calendar. Two minutes from the Hofburg on Rennweg.
