A perfect combination of mountains and city

Innsbruck has many different facets. It is a university town, a sports destination and a city of culture in one. Over 150,000 people call this city home. And love this place that is so close to the mountains yet still has everything you expect of urban life. The almost 30,000 students at the University of Innsbruck also appreciate this winning combination and the city's more lively side is thanks to them. Incidentally, their alma mater is celebrating its 350 year anniversary in 2019.

The city's famous landmark – the Nordkette mountain range

The city's famous landmark – the Nordkette mountain range

The city is surrounded by spectacular mountains. The Nordkette range is particularly impressive and is known as the gateway to the Karwendel mountains. From the city, the journey up to the Nordkette's jagged grey peaks only takes 20 minutes.

You can ride the Nordkettenbahnen lifts all the way from the "Altstadt" lift station in the city centre and be up at the Seegrube at 2,000 metres above sea level in no time. It is even possible to take another lift from there up to the Hafelekar, which is located over 2,200 metres above sea level. City streets and high alpine terrain: these two worlds couldn't be more different. Yet in Innsbruck they are so closely bound together.

The medieval old town

The medieval old town

Visitors really appreciate Innsbruck's beautiful architecture and this also presents many different facets. The medieval old town features beautiful arcades and is ideal for taking a stroll. You can stop at one of the many sidewalk cafes or guesthouses and simply let this historic setting work its magic. At the heart of it all shines the Golden Roof, built by Emperor Maximilian I. The old town also features a City Tower that watches over the colourful hustle and bustle in the narrow streets and an Imperial Palace that bears witness to Innsbruck's Habsburg heritage. You can visit the sights and attractions on a sightseeing tour.

Modern architecture

Modern architecture

An old cityscape intertwined with modern architecture. This is yet another facet of Innsbruck. Star architect Zaha Hadid designed several buildings in Innsbruck, including the Bergisel Ski Jump and the lift stations for the Hungerburgbahn funicular. The city also features many other modern architectural highlights that blend harmoniously into the cityscape. This combination of historic and contemporary features give Innsbruck a very special charm.

Saturday marked the beginning of a period of nice summer weather as the area of high pressure which has built in over the Alps will stay for quite a few days. The weather will therefore continue to be bright and clear and the few darker cumulus clouds which may appear during the afternoon should stay harmless.
