Ways to save
- Stay in guesthouses or private rooms outside the city center to save on accommodation; expect to pay €40-€70/night compared to €80-€150+ in central hotels.
- Utilize the Innsbruck Card for free public transport and entry to most attractions; a 24-hour card costs €53, saving significantly over individual tickets (e.g., cable car up Nordkette costs €44 alone).
- Eat at local bakeries (Bäckerei) for breakfast and snacks; a pastry and coffee can be €5-€8, versus €15-€25 for a hotel breakfast.
- Look for 'Mittagsmenü' (lunch menus) at restaurants; these offer set meals at a reduced price, often €10-€15, compared to €20-€30+ for dinner.
- Pack a reusable water bottle and fill it from public fountains; bottled water can cost €2-€4 per bottle, saving you €5-€10+ daily.
- Visit in the shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October) for lower flight and accommodation prices, typically 20-30% less than peak summer or winter ski season.
- Take advantage of free activities like hiking in the surrounding mountains, exploring the Altstadt (Old Town) on foot, or visiting the Maria-Theresien-Straße.
- Consider buying groceries from local supermarkets like MPreis or Hofer to prepare some of your own meals, saving €10-€20 per meal compared to eating out.
