Innsbruck is certainly the perfect place for every (amateur) photographer. The city is very diverse and therefore offers a great variety of motifs. Medieval architecture, alpine terrain and a beautiful natural backdrop await you just a few kilometres from dasMEI - everyone will find the perfect motif! We took a look around the city and found a few spots where you can snap the perfect souvenir photos!
The most beautiful photo points in Innsbruck
Inn riverbank - Mariahilf
A particularly popular photo location and Innsbruck's photo classic par excellence is the colourful row of houses Mariahilf, located directly on the Inn. Directly behind it, the imposing Nordkette mountain range with its impressive slopes and mountain peaks rises up and completes the famous photo motif. This spot is best photographed in the morning and evening. At this time, you have the sun behind you and the row of houses glows in its most beautiful colours. Shortly after sunset, this spot is also recommended when the sun shines behind the peaks and bathes the mountains in golden light.
The Nordkette - Seegrube and Hafelekar
A particularly rewarding excursion is the journey by train to the Nordkette. Directly from the city centre, you can reach high alpine terrain in just a few minutes. The short journey is worth it, as the view of the city and the Karwendel mountains opposite is breathtaking. The journey is particularly worthwhile in the evening. The view down to the glowing city and far into the Wipp and Stubai valleys is unique.
If you don't want to make the journey up the Nordkette, you can also take advantage of the Hungerburg from here you are rewarded with a wonderful view of Innsbruck. The best way to get there is to take the Hungerburgbahn cable car directly from the city centre. The spacious viewing platform offers the best light, especially in the morning and evening.
Innsbruck old town
However, Innsbruck is not only a wonderful photo motif from above. The medieval old town offers you a multitude of motifs and great photo spots. The nature in the Hofgarten, Maria-Theresien-Straße with its charming houses, Victory Column and Triumphal Gate, the Golden Roof (probably Innsbruck's most famous landmark) and the cathedral show the hustle and bustle of the Alpine city. For a great 360° view of the city, you can also climb the 148 steps of the city tower - photography is possible in all directions!
Sandbank Kranebitten
If you are looking for some thrills, you should lie in wait on the Kranebitten sandbank - as the banks of the Inn are not only perfect for relaxing and sunbathing, but also offer spectacular opportunities to take photos and selfies with landing aeroplanes. These fly over the Inn on their final approach and rush onto the airport runway just a few metres above our heads.
