They sell tickets for the church and museum separately the latter mainly gives you the chance to go upstairs and look down into the church. A quick visit unless you are interested in identifying all the statues - names all listed on the brochure.

We found this place after researching what there is to see and do in Innsbruck. Based on that…read moreresearch, I knew about the tomb in the center of the church and that there were statues around it, but that was about it. Actually going here, I was much more impressed than I thought I'd be. The church itself appears to exist solely to honor the former Austrian (Tyrolean?) kings and queens. The statues around the tomb are very detailed and a little larger than life. The tomb in the center has scenes carved in marble on its side. I don't think I've ever seen marble so intricately carved; it was beautiful. Since that wasn't enough, at the back of the church, there are stairs leading to the Silver Chapel. This was not what I was expecting either. The first half of the chapel was bare, but had the ceilings and maybe walls painted red. The second half was blocked off, but was more traditional. It had some alcoves and an altarpiece made of a dark wood and silver. This is the only silver in the Silver Chapel. Regardless, it was still good to see. As good as this place was, we had to pay I think €7 each to get in and see this church. I've been to countless churches throughout Europe and this is the only one I remember having to pay to get in. Other than that though, it was great.

Be warned, there are quite a number of stairs to climb and no elevator, but it is not too onerous, and if you have a Fitbit, it will help your stair count considerably! My wife, two daughters (8 and 10), handled the stairs without a problem. When we arrived at the top, we found very nice views of the city and met a number of nice people willing to take pictures of us. It is a bit cramped up at the top, so people need to be friendly and patient with one another. The entire visit does not take very long, so it is a nice thing to do just to get one's bearing on the town and its surroundings. Definitely worth doing.
