About Amras
Where to stay in Amras
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Amras trades the centre for space. Rooms here sit within reach of Ambras Castle and the Chamber of Art and Curiosities, and the Tivoli and Olympia Eisstadion Innsbruck grounds put sport within an easy walk of the same beds. Quiet nights are the point.
Visitors who want the Innsbruck museums, the Zeughaus among them, accept a ride in and a calmer evening on return.
About Amras
What are the main landmarks in Amras?
The castle carries this district. Ambras Castle holds the Chamber of Art and Curiosities, a collection named for the art and rarities gathered inside it, and the grounds pull visitors out from the middle of Innsbruck. Sport sits close by.
The Tivoli grounds and the Olympia Eisstadion Innsbruck stand within a few minutes of each other. Further in, the Zeughaus and the Radiomuseum-Innsbruck hold their collections, and the Landesgedächtnisstätte Tummelplatz keeps its memorial ground apart from the traffic.
What is the history of Amras?
Two spellings, one place. Amras and Ambras Castle have carried the same name in two forms, and the collection in the Chamber of Art and Curiosities tied the quarter's standing to the castle rather than to the streets of Innsbruck. Parishes followed the houses.
The Auferstehungskirche and the Schutzengelkirche mark that later growth, while the Pfarrkirche Pradl serves the neighbouring quarter. The Norerpalais stands among them, and the Kaiserjägerdenkmal keeps company with the Landesgedächtnisstätte Tummelplatz as places of remembrance.
Where is Amras?
Amras sits at one edge of Innsbruck, a quarter gathered around Ambras Castle with the Tivoli and Olympia Eisstadion Innsbruck grounds nearby.
