In 2013, Innsbruck was voted the third most beautiful city in Europe after Riga (Latvia) and Bergen (Norway) by the readers of USA Today in an online poll. The provincial capital of Tyrol has really earned its place on the podium. Embraced by the mountains, Innsbruck is one of Austria’s true treasures. The small town on the River Inn invites you to take a stroll through the old town, with a short stop at the landmark, the Golden Roof in Herzog-Friedrich-Straße. For lunch, there are Tyrolean bacon dumplings and a delicious pale Bürgerbräu beer. In the afternoon, a visit to Munding, Tyrol’s oldest patisserie café, is a must. The finest cakes, tarts and chocolates and a perfect coffee round off the afternoon. This or something similar is how you can spend a beautiful and relaxing summer day in the capital of the Alps. We have been a guest here with our motorail train since 2018 and we look forward to the new season every year. Innsbruck is a paradise for mountain hikers and, of course, for our motorcyclists, who set off on the best mountain tours from here.

Our insider tip

Nala – Individuell Hotel (Fallmerayerstraße 8, Innsbruck)

An ultra-cool, very modern hotel in Innsbruck with individually designed rooms and people who really enjoy the hotel business. But what is more important is that the environment is taken into account here, namelysustainable: energy-efficient construction, 90 % green electricity and 100 % ecologically based cleaning agents. And the service is right anyway.
