Imperial Palace Innsbruck
Hofburg Innsbruck
The Imperial Palace (Hofburg) is the Habsburg palace on Rennweg in Innsbruck's historic centre, administered by the Burghauptmannschaft Österreich, with Maria Theresa's state rooms, Empress Elisabeth's imperial apartment and a permanent exhibition on Emperor Maximilian I.
Why go
The Burghauptmannschaft Österreich, which administers the palace, describes the Hofburg Innsbruck at Rennweg 1 as the central building of a residence complex that also takes in the Hofkirche, the Silver Chapel, the Neues Stift with the folk art museum, the cathedral and the Hofgarten. Its property page says the palace was the main residence of the German kings under Maximilian I and Ferdinand I and was given its present form under Maria Theresa. Visitors see Maria Theresa's state rooms, the imperial apartment associated with Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) and the permanent exhibition 'Maximilian1'; the museum page sells the imperial apartments, Maximilian1 and the current special exhibition as separate and combined tickets. This record is the Innsbruck palace, not the Vienna Hofburg and not the Court Church beside it. The museum page lists closing days, including a closing month in early 2027, so check it before a visit (German pages, translated here).
