Holiday in Innsbruck

What makes Innsbruck special as a destination?

Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, is nestled between the impressive Nordkette and the Patscherkofel — a city where alpine panorama and imperial history uniquely combine. Innsbruck hosted the Olympic Winter Games twice (1964 and 1976), and the Bergisel ski jump designed by Zaha Hadid is now both an architectural landmark and a ski jumping arena. The Golden Roof with its 2,657 fire-gilded copper shingles, the Hofburg, and the Hofkirche with its life-sized bronze figures testify to its glorious past as a Habsburg residence city. With the Hungerburgbahn, designed by star architect Zaha Hadid, you can reach the Seegrube in just a few minutes from the old town via four futuristic stations and continue to the Hafelekar at 2,334 meters. From there, a 360-degree panorama of the Tyrolean Alps unfolds, unmatched by any other. Maria-Theresien-Straße, with a view of the Nordkette, is considered one of the most beautiful streets in Europe. Innsbruck is also a top-notch base camp for outdoor adventures: nine ski areas are within a 30-minute radius, and in summer, over 500 kilometers of hiking trails and challenging via ferratas beckon. The old town surprises with a vibrant gastronomy scene, charming cafes, and the historic Tyrolean Folk Art Museum. Whether winter sports, cultural enjoyment, or alpinism — Innsbruck combines everything in a compact space.
