The charming Austrian mountain town of Innsbruck is much more than a mere winter ski destination. It’s also a vibrant cosmopolitan city with more than 100,000 residents, and the capital of the stunning alpine region of Tyrol. Innsbruck does a superb job blending outdoor recreation with historic and cultural attractions. This bodes well for visitors who want more than just outdoor sports during their holiday.

Innsbruck’s airport, Flughafen Innsbruck-Kranebitten, is located just three kilometres from the heart of the city and handles daily direct flights from every major Austrian city as well as many other European destinations. North American travellers, however, will need to make a connection somewhere in Europe before heading on to Innsbruck as there are no direct flights. Munich’s airport is the closest international connection and runs regular shuttle buses direct from the airport to Innsbruck. Tyrolean Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Finnair and EasyJet are the primary carriers operating out of Innsbruck.
