The old city is enclosed by Marktgraben, Burggraben and Rennweg, marking the boundary along which the city wall once ran. The somewhat younger baroque and classical part of Innsbruck is located outside its perimeter. Here you find Triumphpforte – a triumphal arch built for the marriage of Archduke Leopold (son of Empress Maria Theresia) to Maria Ludovica of Spain in 1765.

Tourbet el Bey stands as the most significant royal mausoleum in Tunisia. The monument serves as the final resting place for the Husainid dynasty rulers who governed from 1705 to 1957. Its distinctive green fish-scale domes crown an imposing quadrangular structure, blending Ottoman grandeur with Italianate stucco work and Andalusian tile motifs. Built during Ali Pasha II’s reign (1758–82), the interior reveals a spatial homage to Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia, where vaulted ceilings display intricate polychrome stucco arabesques. The tombs tell silent stories: male rulers are marked by marble carvings of their headgear (turbans or chechia caps), with tassel counts denoting rank, while women’s graves bear simple plaques. A courtyard paved with memorial slabs connects the chambers, their walls shimmering with historic ceramic tiles.

While the view down the splendid Maria-Theresien-Strasse towards the medieval old town is crowned by the majestic Nordkette mountain chain; the baroque Triumphal Arch is set off by the Bergisel ski jump, Innsbruck’s spectacular new icon designed by top architect Zaha Hadid.

The Museum of Fine Art houses over 10,000 works of art, including many notable pieces, which were acquired after the building was rebuilt post-war. A curious initiative of the museum is the so-called "artothèque" — a library of art pieces, which locals are free to borrow for a short period of time.
