Innsbruck City Breaks

Boasting a rare blend of idyllic Alpine scenery, rich cultural heritage, resplendent architecture and a buzzing nightlife scene, Innsbruck is a remarkably versatile year-round city break destination. One moment you can be meandering through the cobbled streets of the medieval Altstadt or admiring the row of picture perfect, pastel-coloured houses along the Inn River, and the next you can be hiking or skiing through the Nordkette mountains, or swimming in the pristine Lake Lans. 

Easy access to nearby nature is undoubtedly one of Innsbruck’s strongest pull factors, but the city is a delightful place to explore in its own right, replete with an array of Gothic and Baroque masterpieces, a grand palace dating back to the 15th century, and a Renaissance-style castle (Schloss Ambras) housing an impressive art collection from the Habsburg dynasty era. Pair that with a plethora of intriguing museums, excellent restaurants, cosy cafes and a beautiful park (Hofgarten), and it’s easy to see why the Tyrolean capital is so much more than just a convenient transit hub for ski holidays in the Austrian Alps.
