Things to do in Schwaz

  1. Silberbergwerk Schwaz

    You almost feel like breaking out into a rendition of Hi-Ho at Silberbergwerk Schwaz, as you board a mini-train and venture deep into the bowels of the silver mine for a 90-minute trundle through Schwaz’s illustrious past. The mine is about 1.5km east of the centre.

  2. Hellas

    Hellas is a classy little Greek place with vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and bold colours. The terrace is quite something: waiters have to cross the road to get there and perform a balancing act to ensure your tasty moussaka doesn’t land on someone’s bonnet.

    It’s worth peeking inside the Haus der Völker, just north of town, which presents the rich collection of local photographer Gert Chesi. Curiosities on display include Nigerian masks, Burmese gongs and voodoo ceremonial tools.
