Old Town of Hall in Tirol

The old town of Hall is small, but cozy. There are some very unusual shops and numerous pubs, bistros and sidewalk cafés that invite you to linger.

A nice change, if you between strenuous hikes through the mountains and just want to relax.

Historic old town Hall in Tirol
One of the best-preserved old towns in Austria stretches around the upper town square of Hall in Tirol.
Around 10 km from Innsbruck, Hall in Tirol invites you on a journey into the Middle Ages. Here, around the central town square, towers rise, winding alleys lie and venerable town houses adorn the townscape. Today, Hall in Tirol is much smaller than Innsbruck and a wonderful place for a day trip or a few days between culture and nature. A few centuries ago, however, it was clearly superior to Innsbruck: at that time, mining was carried out here.
From the 13th century, salt was mined around Hall and brought to Lake Constance on the Tyrolean Salt Road. The white gold made the town a town in 1303. The salt warehouse is still called the event center of Hall today. In 1477, Archduke Sigmund finally moved the princely mint from Merano to Hall in Tirol: The Hall Mint Museum and the Hall in Tirol Mining Museum tell of these times today.
In the middle of Hall's old town you will find the Upper Town Square. All around it are the tower of Hasegg Castle with the Hall Mint, a landmark of the town that can be seen from afar, the town hall and the Gothic parish church of St. Nicholas. This square is considered one of the most beautiful inner-city squares in Austria. Then there is the Stiftsplatz with the Sacred Heart Basilica and the All Saints Church, which is the first baroque church in North Tyrol. Small shops and cafés in the middle invite you to take a rest in the sun. Hall has also been a university town since 2004.
