About Innsbruck

Innsbruck, nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps, is a charming blend of history, culture, and stunning mountain views. Whether you're exploring Habsburg palaces or hitting the slopes, this picturesque Tyrolean capital has something for everyone. From luxurious resorts to stylish city hotels and cosy ski lodges, there's a perfect spot for every traveller. Stay in the vibrant city centre for easy access to attractions, or choose a ski-in, ski-out lodge for a true alpine experience.

The old town, with its Baroque cathedral, cosy squares, and the elegant palace, is the perfect setting for a stroll. Surrounding mountains, rising up to 2000m, add to the magic, especially when dusted with snow in winter or dotted with cows in summer. While the main attractions are all easily walkable, the local tram system is handy for longer stays.

Known as the largest ski resort in the Austrian Alps, Innsbruck is a winter sports paradise and even hosted the Winter Olympics twice. The famous ski jump, complete with a café on top, is a must-see, especially during the annual Ski Jump Contest. The city is also lively thanks to its university, drawing a mix of young visitors in winter and older ones in summer. Don't miss the Schloss Ambras palace, with its impressive armour and portrait collection, or the historic Hofburg castle, which is now a museum. With its range of museums and Europe's highest zoo specialising in alpine animals, Innsbruck offers something for everyone year-round.

Travel information

  • You can visit Innsbruck year-round depending on why you're going! The winter brings lots of fresh snow, (which is perfect for skiing), and temperatures that hover around 0°C or less. The ski season lasts roughly from late November to late April.
  • If you fancy hiking or mountain biking then come visit in summer instead. July and August experience average temperatures of 19°C but it may be fairly busy at this time, so if you want to avoid fellow tourists then consider visiting in September - when the temperature's still roughly 16°C or so.
  • International visitors can fly into Innsbruck Airport, served by a number of direct flights from most major European cities. There are flights from London year-round as well as from Edinburgh and Dublin in the winter. The journey time is roughly two hours.
  • From the airport, take bus line F towards the city centre which gets you there in just ten minutes.
  • For car hire prices, we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
