Where to stay in Wilten
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Wilten puts the station within walking distance of the abbey. Rooms here take in business travellers, families heading for the Tyrol Panorama Museum, and anyone who wants the Innsbruck old town within a walk rather than a ride. The choice is between two moods.
Streets by Wilten Abbey stay quiet and settled, while the blocks near the Innsbruck Stubaital station carry the traffic and the late arrivals.
About Wilten
What are the main landmarks in Wilten?
Wilten Abbey holds the oldest thread here. The Tiroler Kaiserjägermuseum, the Tyrol Panorama Museum, and the Andreas Hofer monument sit within a few minutes of one another, and together they draw more visitors than the parish streets ever do. Trains have a museum too.
The Tiroler MuseumsBahnen keep historic rolling stock, and the Innsbruck Stubaital station gives the district its own terminus. The Glockenmuseum Grassmayr, the Herz-Jesu-Kirche, and the Former Ursuline church line the way toward the old town, where the Golden Roof, the Ottoburg, and the Stadtturm take the day crowds.
What is the history of Wilten?
Wilten's story starts with its abbey. Wilten Abbey anchored a settlement that Innsbruck later absorbed, and the parish churches that followed, among them the Herz-Jesu-Kirche and the Petrus Canisius Church, mark how far the streets pushed. Railways left their own mark.
The Innsbruck Stubaital station and the Tiroler MuseumsBahnen belong to that later century of building, as does the Redemptoristenkolleg Innsbruck nearby. Memory hardened into monuments: the Andreas Hofer monument, the Befreiungsdenkmal, and the Pogromdenkmal each keep a different part of the record.
