Innsbruck’s Best Beer Gardens and Terraces
There’s nothing quite like dining al fresco – be it a quick snack and a drink or a full evening meal. In Innsbruck there are lots of places with outdoor seating – here are our favourites.
A little bit hidden away in the St. Nikolaus district and quite inconspicuous from the outside, inside there is a beautiful, large garden which regularly hosts BBQ evenings and live music. A section of the garden is under a roof, making it a good choice if the weather's not great.
Fancy a sophisticated lunch in the shade of old chestnut trees? The Gasthaus Sailer serves traditional cuisine in a charming garden. Located within walking distance of the main railway station and Maria-Theresien-Straße.
The building in which the Riese Haymon restaurant is located dates back over 300 years. It is a traditional Tirolean inn with a picture-perfect beer garden. The menu includes goulash, fried chicken, Gröstl (pan-fried potatoes with meat), boiled beef and many other delicacies.
A beer garden in the best sense of the word, guaranteeing a pleasant time in the heart of Innsbruck. The Fischerhäusl enjoys a prime location between the theatre, congress centre and imperial palace. Lots of regulars.
Located on one of Innsbruck's most beautiful squares – the Franziskaner Platz – not far from the Golden Roof. A place where young and old, locals and visitors meet.
Fusing Asian, cosmopolitan and Tirolean influences, the garden at the Nala hotel is a great place to settle down for a relaxing meal – especially in the evenings when red lanterns are lit and the only sound to be heard is the gentle splashing of the fountain in the Zen-style garden.
Stylish. Trendy. Smart. The terrace of the Il Convento restaurant is perched above the bustling Franziskaner Platz square and is considered by many one of the coolest spots in the city. The Italian food on offer is of the highest quality and is paired with fine wines. Last but not least, as you would expect from an Italian restaurant, the coffee is great.
Boasting eye-catching architecture, Sitzwohl is known throughout Innsbruck and beyond for its excellent food. The restaurant’s terrace is well worth checking out – a good place to cool off in the centre of the city on a hot summer’s day.
