Hotels near Innsbruck Airport - INN, Innsbruck

We were transiting to Italy but were unexpectedly pleased with the river and scenery so close to the town. The buildings in the town were interesting and it was a pleasure to walk around a city not filled with the ubiquitous shops now found in so many destinations.

There's a real variety of activities to enjoy. We bought the Innsbruck Card and took two cable car trips into the mountains and enjoyed spectacular views. We also visited the Bergisel Ski Jump - something a bit different and impressed with the teenage ski jumpers who were training during our visit. The city feels very safe. Lovely shops & great restaurants, all with the backdrop of the Alps. We loved it!

The cable car to the Top of the Mountain was an excellent value and I'm SO glad we did this. The view is spectacular! We were skeptical about the weather but we were above the clouds at the Top and it was fantastic. The city is beautiful and a delight to wander around. Everyone should visit this great city.

Unexpected great discovery. Visited in August and had an amazing experience, walking around the city and exploring nature around. Came by car from Luxembourg, roads were great, and not extremely busy. There are many hiking and biking trails with different degrees of difficulty just around the city, if traveling with small children, elder people or just don’t feel like walking up to the mountains, take the Nordkettenbahnen cable car from the city centre (c. 50 euros to the top), totally worth it. For some cultural activity, I recommend trying the Ambras castle. Just walking around the city and interacting with people was a great experience.

I loved the beauty of Innsbruck and the friendly, kind locals. There was a wine festival and the atmosphere was wonderful with local musicians dressed in Tyrolean outfits and playing delightful music. The shops were great with many beautiful, well-made things to buy. It was delightful to walk into the old town by the river and the water was a gorgeous teal colour. Also drinking water is very pure and does not have fluoride which was a bonus. I was so taken with Innsbruck that I can’t wait to return.

If you are a curious and fit person, you can find everything in Innsbruck! Culture, nature, shopping, sports - you name it. I have been there three times for 5-7 days. I am falling in love with the city more each time.
