Christmas Markets in Innsbruck 2024

Innsbruck's historic centre is a perfect setting for the biggest Christkindlmarkt in the city - the famous 'Golden Roof' is the centrepiece of the market in the old town with a backdrop of the Tyrolean mountains behind to add to the magic of the location.

Nowadays the city centre markets almost join up with one another, with the market by the river and in the main shopping street on the fringes of that central market.

Other Things To Do in Innsbruck

Take a look at the Tyrolean past. Although now part of Austria, the Tyroleans have a long and proud history as an independent people. One of the periods that defines the identity is the Napoleonic era, and the Bergisel (where the ski jump is located) is not only the site of major battles from that area, but also where the statue of Tyrolean icon Andreas Hofer is situated alongside the Rundgemälde (a circular painting depicting the events of those days).

Sample the white stuff. Given good snow, Innsbruck's ski resorts may well be open towards the end of the Advent period. (And one of them can be reached via an underground train stop near the Imperial Palace in the centre.) The nearby Stubai glacier ski area is also easily reached and is guaranteed to have decent snow at this time of year.

Innsbruck Cathedral in Winter

Get out and about in the city. Innsbruck is a young and active city in the mountains. A university and a big teaching hospital mean that there is plenty going on both in the cultural scene and with outdoor pastimes.
