Innsbruck
Hidden between snow-capped mountains, little Innsbruck is a world away from other cities in Austria. Oozing small-town charm, the cobbled streets and picturesque architecture make it one of the country’s most enchanting places to visit.
The
City
Whatever time of year you visit, there is something to see and do here. If you pick one of the winter months you may be treated to Olympic professionals speeding down the bobsleigh run, or flying off the daunting new Bergisel ski jump. In summer, you’ll be reminded of these events by the spectacular mountain backdrop, but can enjoy the scenery in the warm Austrian sunshine. Though public transport is reliable and efficient, you can make the most of Innsbruck’s pretty streets by walking, since distances are almost invariably manageable. Trip along the cobbles in the old part of town looking for a pair of lederhosen, or seek out a trendy bar in the newer areas. Whether you want old-fashioned traditions or modern innovation, all requirements can be met in both cultural and social spheres. Innsbruck’s residents are a hospitable, relaxed crowd and you’ll find yourself feeling at home in no time at all.
