Walk 4: Young Innsbruck
Learn more
On your bike & explore skating rink, climbing paradise and bathing lake
Innsbruck has more than 130,000 inhabitants, around 30,000 of them students, many of them international. So it's no surprise that the city is seen as "young, cool and modern".
Even at first glance, the trendy and above all sporty "vibe" of the city makes itself felt. Cyclists with ski equipment on their shoulders are just as common a sight in the heart of the city as mountain bikers
in full kit.
But Innsbruck also has so much to offer in addition to the trails and ski slopes: unusual cultural events, a wide range of excellent shops and a multitude of trendy pubs where concerts and poetry slams are regularly held.
Act like a local and set off on a walk or, perhaps even better, a bike ride and see where the locals exercise, have a good time and party.
