City break in the Innsbruck Region

Two-day Innsbruck city break by rail from Switzerland

Illustration of City break in the Innsbruck Region

Railtour Suisse's 2-day Innsbruck package delivers a rare blend of alpine mountain calm and urban culture. 5 to 5 hours. Once in Tyrol's capital, the old town unfolds within walking distance of the main station: medieval lanes lead to the Golden Roof, Baroque galleries, and the Court Church, which guards 28 life-size bronze figures around Emperor Maximilian's tomb. A short climb or lift ride brings you to the Bergisel Ski Jump, an architectural landmark and museum, or to Ambras Castle, a Renaissance palace that pioneered the museum concept. Between sightseeing, sample hearty Tyrolean cuisine at family-run inns or award-winning restaurants in shaded gardens. This break suits couples seeking both culture and mountain air, first-time rail travellers comfortable with straightforward Swiss-Austrian connections, and history lovers drawn to Habsburg monuments and castles.
