Innsbrucker Hofgarten

The Innsbrucker Hofgarten is defined by its wide, ten-hectare expanse of mature trees and open lawns, which sit in stark contrast to the dense historic buildings of the Old Town. This park borders the Hofburg palace and the Tyrolean State Theatre, occupying ground that has been used for garden space for over six hundred years. While its current design reflects a nineteenth-century English landscape style, the site has transitioned through Renaissance and Baroque periods, originally established as a meadow-side garden by Archduke Ferdinand the Second in the sixteenth century.
