Both banks of the Inn: the coloured houses and the cold water

What is it like to live on the Inn, and which bank are we talking about?

The Inn is no gentle city river; it is a glacier stream with pace, grey with meltwater in early summer and noticeably cold all year. The walk takes both sides: the quiet Hofgarten and the footbridge across, then the row of houses in Mariahilf whose colours appear on every Innsbruck postcard, and back over the old bridge to the market square. What looks like scenery from below is, from inside, a very narrow and very busy block.

Who this walk is for

For anyone considering a flat with a river view. The view is real, so is the summer coolness, and so is the tightness behind it: the famous houses are narrow, old and noisy towards the street.

Good to know

The Inn is a glacier river: loud and grey in early summer. The route measures as very busy, and in fine weather you feel that on the bank. The famous houses in Mariahilf are narrow and old; the river view does not automatically come with the flat, and the rooms facing the street never see it.

What changes along the way

The stops

HofgartenStart
The old court garden is Innsbruck’s quietest city park: mature trees, chess players, hardly any traffic noise. Five minutes from here to the water.
≈8 min to the centreright by the waterlively
1
Emile Béthouart footbridge
The pedestrian bridge over the Inn, the link between the centre and the slope. Halfway across you look upstream all the way to the Nordkette.
2
Mariahilfstraße
The colourful row on the right bank, the city’s most photographed motif. The flats behind are small and old; the colours are honest, the floor plans a question of their own.
3
Old Inn bridge
Back across the river. In early summer the water below is grey and loud, in winter turquoise and quiet: the same river, two completely different neighbours.
≈2 min to the centre
4
Market square
Market hall and square on the left bank, the old town’s everyday anchor: this is where the neighbourhood shops, and the water is still audible.
