The capital of the Alps – a modern city and absolute bliss!
“Innsbruck, you beautiful Alpine city,” the folk song goes and this has its reasons.

This holiday resort, which is situated in the northern Alps, is known as a skiing paradise for winter sports lovers with around 250 kilometres of ski runs. It is home to the Olympic SkiWorld Innsbruck, which has hosted the winter Olympics twice. Nature lovers also find plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the unspoilt nature in Innsbruck’s surrounding area. At the same time, Innsbruck offers many cultural highlights and events with the same urban flair expected of a capital city the whole year through. Buying a house or a flat in Innsbruck means having urban living and all its advantages right on your doorstep. Moreover, urban conveniences and countryside bliss can be reached within just a few minutes from the 40 places in the surrounding area of Innsbruck. Here, you can enjoy the relaxing quiet of the sublime mountain scenery and let it work its magic on you. This is something that modern people increasingly appreciate and long for. At the same time, the city of Munich can be easily reached from the metropolitan region of Innsbruck via a well-developed road network.
This convinces people from southern Germany in particular. Italy is also not far from Tyrol, which means that many Italians, Belgians and of course Austrians are on the lookout for properties in Innsbruck.
Houses in Innsbruck are particularly sought-after in the
Hötting neighbourhood, which is a popular residential area due to its proximity to the centre. Many buyers also seek to buy flats in Innsbruck. The
neighbourhoods of Pradl, Wilten and
Saggen are regarded as ideal because these regions are not only close to the centre, but also very accessible.

The “Nordkettenbahn” railway takes its passengers from the centre of Innsbruck right into high alpine terrain in just 20 minutes. Even those who have to work until the evening can also go night skiing or sledging on snowy winter days thanks to lit up pistes. Numerous lifts and connected ski regions offer plenty of variety.
Great restaurants, fancy bars and clubs through to fast-food chains
In this city, there’s always something going on and it isn’t hard to turn night into day: noble gourmet restaurants, specialities from all over the world, bars with a 360 degree panoramic view of the majestic mountains, or hip parties with mountain hut flair.

Most people automatically think of winter sports when they hear ‘Innsbruck’. However, this diverse city has something on offer for everyone, even those who are not huge sports fans. A stroll through the old town reveals Innsbruck’s beauty and rich history. There are many sights such as the famous “Golden Roof”, the imperial palace together with its court church, old walls, the Triumphal Arch, the gothic city tower, Innsbruck Alpine Zoo, indoor and outdoor pools, many museums and the Olympic village oasis to name just a few. Even those who have lived in Innsbruck for many years still find new and exciting things to explore. If that’s still not enough culture, or if you enjoy music, you may be interested in the wide range of theatre and ballet shows as well as music events which take place here.
