Walking tour around the town
Our tour starts in the lower town square at the Marienbrunnen fountain. We take
the right-hand passage and reach the water bastion, the last of the main remains
of the old city walls. Beneath the Innbrücke (bridge over the river „Inn“) we continue to another section of the city walls, where the semi-preserved corner tower
has command over the „Auslasstor“, a former outlet to the River Inn. After passing
through the „Auslasstor“ we reach Römerhofgasse, where two old wine taverns are
part of a charming section of Kufstein‘s old town. The town‘s parish church is a
late Gothic hall church, dating from around 1400. To the left, in front of the church,
is a memorial to Dean Dr. Hörfarter, founder of the first kindergarten in Tyrol. Next
to the parish church is the Holy Trinity Church with its crypt chapel, dating from
around 1500. In the upper town square area is the Egger building, one of the most
beautiful of Tyrol‘s art nouveau style houses, and the Sparkasse building, which
was constructed in 1907.
The shopping town which has an alluring and unique ambience
If you are spending your holiday in our Holiday region of Kufstein you shouldn’t
miss out on a bit of shopping in the fortress town. The area which has the majority
of the shops extends from Kaiserbergstraße to the upper town square area. There
are two shopping centres in this region, the Inntal centre and Kufstein Galleries.
The two are connected via a panorama bridge and therefore provide the biggest
covered shopping centre in the entire district! The third shopping centre is ‘KISS’
- located in the lower town square, it is currently nearing completion. Lots of little
restaurants and cafés, some which have traditional, cosy guest gardens where you
get to indulge in a wide variety of specialities, are in keeping with the chic style of

The panoramic “Kaiser Maximilian” railway takes you right from the city centre to

The Heroes’ organ is worth a visit – the largest free-standing organ in the world.

be found in the old tower. The Heroes’ organ is played each day at 12.00 noon.
