Car Hire Innsbruck City

Where the town meets the country Innsbruck is a city at one with nature and its mountain environment. No place in the world compares with the Olympic Town of Innsbruck. It is the only major city in the European Alps, and offers a combination of culture, history and nature unequalled anywhere else. From the timeless beauty in the mountains to the 15 Village Resorts all blend in perfectly with the natural environment. They also offer visitors countless opportunities for sporting activities, recreation and relaxation.

With sprawling green meadows decorated with masses of colourful wild flowers, bubbling streams and bulging waterfalls, no wonder the Tirol is often referred to as Nature’s Alpine Garden

The standard of accommodation, whether it is hotels, self-catering or family-run guesthouses, is very high. Many of the four-star hotels have facilities that are only found in five-star properties in other alpine destinations. On-site saunas, spas, tennis courts and swimming pools are found in most hotels.

Guided walking tours are widely available, but for the more adventurous the wide choice of activities range from mountain biking and climbing to paragliding and summer tobogganing

All the fresh air and the active lifestyle is sure to build up a healthy appetite. All the meals served in the Tirol , whether breakfast, lunch, dinner or the innumerable snacks in between, are grand feasts using the freshest of ingredients, which can be washed down with a glass – or two – of local wine and beer.

Most locations are within walking distance. Buses and city-trains on main routes are well established, except for the late hours and to some remote parts of the town. Innsbruck is biker-friendly with many streets having their own biking track. Taxi Stands are scattered at strategic points throughout the Town.
