General information

Innsbruck isn‘t just the perfect destination for skiing or a winter break; with its breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains the Tyrolean capital also offers plenty of opportunities for summertime leisure activities. Take a stroll through the old town past the beautiful gothic and Baroque facades of the historic buildings. The city centre is also home to Innsbruck’s most famous landmark, the Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof). The Bergisel, Europe’s most modern ski jump, combines a range of building styles – a must-see for architecture fans. For amazing views of the city and the Tyrolean Alps, visit the Panorama Café on the Bergisel viewing platform.

Sports fans will also find plenty to do in the Alps in summer – hikers, climbers and mountain bikers will feel right at home in the mountains just outside the city.

Nightlife

If you think that Innsbruck is a sleepy place, you’ll quickly change your mind once you’ve sampled the city’s vibrant nightlife.

La Habana (Maria-Theresien-Strasse 18) is the perfect place for lovers of all things Cuban – puff away on a cigar or sip a cocktail or a glass of fine wine to the exotic sound of Cuban music.

For exclusive drinks and a breathtaking view of the city, visit the American Bar 5th Floor at The Penz Hotel (Adolf-Pichler-Platz 3). See out the day in style with a relaxing drink and soft music on the rooftop terrace.

Fans of Irish pubs can find everything their heart desires at the Arthur Bailey Authentic Irish Bar (Kaiserjägerstrasse 4). With a wide selection of beers – including Guinness, of course – and regular live music, the Arthur Bailey is a firm favourite with Innsbruck’s late night crowd.
