Kitzbühel Old Town
Altstadt Kitzbühel
A medieval town ringed by colourful gabled houses, where the two main streets, Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt, gather fine shops and cafés.
Kitzbühel was granted town privileges in 1271. Its core is two parallel streets, the Vorderstadt (Front Town) and the Hinterstadt (Back Town), where painted gables, wrought-iron signs and arcaded houses are well preserved. The town gate tower (Jochberger Tor) and the spire of the parish church make a classic picture. The streets are lined with luxury boutiques, pastry shops and century-old restaurants. In winter the town glows after dark, and there is an Advent market. The old town is small, so a walk through it takes an hour or two. It is about 10 minutes from the train station and makes a natural starting point for any itinerary.
