Everything Else
If you love hiking, take your time & hike up to Höttinger Alm. It takes around 2 hours but the hike is absolutely worth it - you can see Innsbruck from above and I swear they have the best dumplings.

If you are not such a hiker but still would like to see the city from above, take the cable car up to Seegrube (either from Hungerburg or from Innsbruck city). It's stunning up there!

In winter, go skiing to Axamer Lizum. It's next to Nordkette the clostest skiing area to the city. There's also a free ski bus from the city, leaving every hour, and it's absolutely lovely!

If you like to go hiking, but not so far, go and visit Arzler Alm which is less than half an hour walk from Hungerburg and around an hour from the city. I can really commend the spinach dumplings ;)

If you need to cool down, that's the place to go (R Bus goes there directly). It's a lovely little artificial lake close to the city. In summer there might be a lot of people!

If you have a car, another place to "cool down" is Lanser See. Might be more quiet and therefore more beautiful. You can combine it with a hike from the the city.

One of my favourite cafes because they sell the best berry cake and hot chocolate. It's directly in front of the Golden Roof. In summer you can sit outside. Sometimes you can watch weddings from here.
