To amass... - Beautiful castle full of history and whose Renaissance style is flamboyant. First museum in the world (according to them...) following the passion of the owner for collections. And indeed they are beautiful and very interesting. We had a great time there. Suitable for both young and old. Recommended. If you take the tickets on the net you will have a discount and be careful there are not many places to park your car in case of crowds. Privilege the bus that stops in front.

Loved this castle museum! - The medieval armor for horses and humans was AMAZING! The renaissance hall and the other museum collections here were also well worth the visit. This museum was much better than I expected, truely a high quality museum and I’m so glad we made the visit.

A beautiful place to relax - The place is beautiful, with its gardens. It is a place where you can meet with friends to settle quietly during the day. Parking is 8 euros a day, and admission is not too expensive either. It is easy to spend two hours in the various buildings of the castle, with interesting and fascinating objects, including on knights and jousting. This is a must-see place in town, and the staff is very friendly. Some even speak French.

A must-do in Innsbruck - Beautiful castle with incredible collection of weapons and armor. The “ Wonder Room” was very varied and contained a wealth of beautiful unique curiosities.

Renaissance castle - You can get here in less than 20 minutes by bus. The castle consists of two parts: below there is a very impressive exhibition not only with armour, but also many of what has come to Austria through cultural contacts from other corners of the world. In the upper part, two floors are closed for renovation. Here are interesting examples of home decor, such as the bathroom and the stateroom. Nice park!

Don't leave Innsbruck without seein this! - One of the coolest things you'll see in Tyrol. The exhibit ranges from methodical collection of knightly armor to an absolutely eclectic gathering of "all that's cool" circa 1600s. The collection is fifficult to describe. Think of if it this way: it's 17th century and you have to make a gift for a man that literally has everything; what would it be? You really want to know? (Go and find out.)

Beautiful and interesting - Ambras Castle is the most important and famous castle in Innsbruck. The best way to get there is by bus, which departs from Innsbruck Railway Station and has a stop named after the castle (by car you have to pay a ticket for the parking). The castle has a big collection of armours and swords as well as many curious objects and paintings the King used to entertain his guests with. Don't miss the exposition of glass handcrafts too! Fun fact: in the gardens there are peacocks.

Castle exhibits better than expected - Much diversity in Castle’s exhibits. English explanations/details abundant. Intriguing Room of Curiosities and armour/jousting explanations. Spanish Hall beautiful (guest violinist practicing with local classical music orchestra when I visited… wonderful). 12-15 minute ride from Markt-Platz on bus M (free using city tourist card I got from my hostel).

Moderate - Ample parking space. On arrival it is not very clear where to start. Inside it is freezing but really freezing cold. Even with winter coat. Wherever you walk in, you are followed by staff and they are watching you extremely closely. Interesting slot but not worth 5 stars.
