In 2022 and 2023 this address was the registration site of ITF, the Tyrol tour guides' association, for the World Tourist Guide Day. The association is now called TAT, Team austriaguides Tirol, and has its own website. This page is an independent guide and does not arrange tours itself; the official routes to a licensed guide are below.

World Tourist Guide Day
Every year in late February the Tyrol guides offer free themed walks for a donation: on 21 February 2026 1,600 people took part and €10,200 went to the Licht ins Dunkel emergency fund. The programme appears in mid-January on austriaguides.tirol.
On your own
The old town walk on this site runs in eight stops from the station to the Court Church. Phone audio tours cost around €10, start at the Triumphal Arch and work offline.
Guide or audio tour
A licensed guide costs €140 for an hour and takes up to 25 people, so for a group of ten it is cheaper per head than the Welcome Tour and can be themed: Maximilian, the Baroque, Jewish Innsbruck, the 1809 uprising, the Olympic city. The Welcome Tour is the right choice for one or two people and is free with the Innsbruck Card. Audio tours cost around €10, start whenever you like and let you stop for coffee, but they do not answer questions.
How much is a guided tour in Innsbruck?
