street in Innsbruck

Maria-Theresien-Strasse

Every photograph of Innsbruck's main boulevard includes the Nordkette mountain range at the far end, rising 2,000 meters above the street level as if someone had placed a high-alpine wall as the deliberate backdrop to a city promenade.

Maria-Theresien-Strasse is Innsbruck’s main boulevard, running south from the Altstadt with the Nordkette mountain range, rising over 2,000 meters, framed directly at its northern end. The Baroque facades, the Annasaeule red marble column (1706), and the mountain backdrop create one of the most distinctive urban views in Austria. The street is free and always accessible, with trams running along its length. Allow 20 to 30 minutes for a walk; combine with the Altstadt, the Hofburg palace, and the Nordkette Cable Car for a full Innsbruck day.
