Nirav Parikh
★★★★★2 months agoCourt church contains the tomb of Emperor Maximilian. It is the most beautiful and stunning tomb of an Emperor I have seen till date. Just go close and observe the marble slabs on the tomb and the visual detailing on it. The tomb is very well decorated and the church is also a nice place to explore. The sculptures of soldiers are worth checking out. The court church access is included in Innsbruck Card and if you have more time you can also visit the museum in the same premises. Definitely not to be missed.

★★★★★a year agoAmazing church with attached museum that is fascinating. The artwork and artifacts are amazing. Tickets are not expensive for what you get to see. I recommend doing the museum first and then the church.
