If you want to be independent and still explore the old city even in the late evening, use Self-guided tour of Innsbruck with audio records and navigation over all the main sights of the old city. This tour you can do in 1 hour, or you could stop in cozy restaurants and cafes and finish it later. It will also guide you to the most recommended restaurants, cafes, photo points, and panoramic views. Here you will also get all the tips on what and where else to do!
2. Take a cable car up to 2300 meters high and enjoy the rocky Alps. Half day tour in Innsbruck.
Impress yourself with a view almost to Italy and the Dolomites from the top of Innsbruck and the North Chain mountain range. In half an hour and with 2 changes, you will reach a height of 2300 meters to see the rocky mountains of Innsbruck, and in wintertime, you can even sled there. Secure your ticket for the cable car here.
3. Take part in Tyrolean traditions - Tyrolean Evening show. Evening tour in Innsbruck center.
Innsbruck is the capital of the state of Austria called Tyrol (German Tirol). Like all Alpine countries and villages, it has many interesting traditions, one of them being singing, dancing, and yodeling. You can participate in a show in the evening, starting from 7:00 pm or 8:30 pm.
Yodeling (also yodeling) is a form of singing which involves repeated and rapid changes of pitch between the low-pitch chest register (or "chest voice") and the high-pitch head register or falsetto. (с) Wikipedia
4. Visit Swarovski Crystal World near Innsbruck. Half day tour.

Take a private tour from Innsbruck with a professional guide and learn more about the company and its history, as well as the museum itself, or visit it yourself by public bus.
