Staying in Innsbruck

There’s little not to like about the summer in Innsbruck. The days can be alternately very hot to warm, and that’s hard to predict, but the nights are invariably cool and still. Perfect for a historic town with a beautiful pedestrian area. While the nightlife is nothing to scream about, anyone considering coming to Innsbruck probably isn’t all that interested in screaming.

An Innsbruck vacation is well suited for the cultured visitor. Interesting and famous buildings–like the famous Golden Roof and the imperial court–proudly line wide and well visited streets. Seven museums await exploration by the curious and for those with a penchant for ‘attractions’ there are the four very well maintained parks. If you are seeking more excitement, however, the ski jump stadium on the Bergisel might be more to your liking.

Innsbruck has had quite an economic boost since hosting the winter olympics, and has responded by expanding on its festivals and cultural events for its growing tourist base. Very popular are the Christmas fair and Weeks of Classical Music, neither of which you can forgive yourself for missing. Christmas in a winter wonderland will have you feeling as if you transported yourself into a snow globe.

If you’re staying in Innsbruck, don’t cheat yourself out of the experience by staying in a hotel. Live like the Austrians, become part of the community. Book an apartment with Interhome.
