Innsbruck
City break meets alpine holiday
One holiday, endless possibilities – when spending your summer in Innsbruck, you'll benefit from a unique combination: You can stroll its streets full of Imperial elegance and beautiful Baroque and Gothic architecture in the Old Town, and then take a cable car from the centre and be at 2,000 m in just 20 minutes. Or, in other words: You can get all of Austria's highlights in just one day.
Even at first sight, Innsbruck and its setting amidst majestic peaks is breathtaking. But, it’s never just about the scenery: Take a guided hiking or e-biking tour and explore the city and the region together with a local, who'll not only give you a quick history or nature lesson but also show you where to get the best food after your adventure. Innsbruck, in general, is a very welcoming little town with a large student population that adds a lively vibe. Hip eateries, vintage shops and unique events are all part of the deal, always with the mountains just a stone's throw away.
Embrace the best of both worlds and enjoy the alpine-urban lifestyle - that's what summer in Innsbruck - and, as we call it, the Austrian "Lebensgefühl" is all about!

Insider's Tip
The Hochmahdalm (1,907 m) is a small and cosy mountain hut on the Patscherkofel mountain south of Innsbruck. Take the 20-min walk up from the "Schutzhaus Patscherkofel" through a forest road. The restaurant serves traditional Tyrolean cuisine with stunning views as a bonus. The terrace overlooks both the Inn Valley and the Stubai Valley.
