No lines... beautiful rooms... friendly staff... The only thing that needs to be pointed out more clearly is the actual entrance to the museum... from the outside, it looks like there is only the outdoor garden...

hungerburg innsbruck

In 2005, architect Zaha Hadid, along with the contractor Strabag, won the competition to build Hungerburg Funicular. This was Hadid’s second project in Innsbruck after The Bergisel Ski Jump, built in 2002.

Known for their outstanding architecture, the Hungerburgbahn stations were the largest structure in the world to utilise double-curved glass. One of its most striking features is the “floating” ceiling, which mimics natural ice formations to represent the Alpine nature of Innsbruck, while also reflecting the passengers below.

There are four stations on the Hungerburg funicular — Congress Station, Loewenhaus, Alpenzoo, and Hungerburg. Congress Station is located in Innsbruck, Loewenhaus is an intermediate station, Alpenzoo is the station to reach if you want to check out the Alpine Zoo, and the last station is the one that will connect you with Nordkette.
