The history of Ambras is in documents from nearing the 10th Century. Completed in the 14th Century, this medieval fortress was converted later into a Renaissance castle. Not only is the castle an architectural marvel with its Renaissance murals and structure, but it also houses a lot of Viennese art and portraits of the royalty. There is a gallery of Art's, the Armoury and the gallery of Wonders. The Upper castle and the Lower Castle both house different galleries and sections and each has its own tour. To celebrate this monument, the government of Austria has also put the castle on one side of a commemorative coin, with the beautiful town of Innsbruck on the other side.
There is a sight-seer (hop on/hop off) bus that runs to and from Hauptbahnhof and Hofburg stations up to the castle.
The cheapest way to get from Innsbruck to Schloss Ambras is via line 6 tram which costs 2 € and takes 15 min .
By taxi, it will take 4 minutes which can cost around 15€ - 18€.
