Where to stay in Innsbruck
If you are looking for a place to stay in Innsbruck, your first choice should be the Innenstadt (Altstadt). It’s the historic center of Innsbruck and the area with most of the sights. It is a beautiful part of Innsbruck with charming streets and historic buildings with always the snow-capped peaks of the Alps in the background. But a hotel in Innsbruck in the old town can also be quite pricey, just as everything in Austria is expensive. So if you are looking for a more budget-friendly place to stay, consider one of the nice neighborhoods right next to the Innenstadt. You’ll get to stay in an affordable hotel, but within walking distance of all the best things to do in Innsbruck.
The best neighbourhoods of Innsbruck:
- The historical Innenstadt for the old town with most of the sights.
- The quiet residential area Höttting across the river and within walking distance to the Innenstadt.
- The central Wilten south of the Innenstadt at the train station.
- The upcoming and increasingly popular Pradl east of the old center.
