Innsbruck

Description: Tyrol, Austria.

Newest Review: ... landing was very very rough because there was poor weather in the valley, and many people on board the plane left feeling rather ill! The airport itself is quite small but very clean and modern. However, it is lacking in facilities such as restaurants once you go through security - there is only one small cafe which gets extremely busy. So beware and make sure that if you want to eat ... more

... before you fly, go to the restaurant upstairs at the airport before you go through security. The security checks are quite stringent - one of our bags was scanned five times and emptied before we were allowed through. They are also enforcing the no liquid...more

Innsbruck: A nice little airport but in need of more facilities (381 words)

I am reviewing Innsbruck airport, not the resort. Easyjet, British Airways and Monarch all fly into Innsbruck from the UK and it is growing in popularity for people going ski-ing within a radius of about 70 miles of the airport. The descent into the airport is tricky for pilots (so we have been told) as it is right in the middle of a mountainous valley. However on a clear and calm day the views are stupendous.

I got married in Austria in June of this year, and whilst there we visited Innsbruck. What a wonderful city (and country)! The streets are clean, no graffitti to be seen, no kids hanging round on the streets. Everyone was friendly (unlike our own cities here!), and very helpful. I went to the information office first (I love those places!!), got a map of the city and was amazed at how much there is to see and do! Unfortunately, we only had one day, so we made the most of it. First stop was St Jacobs's cathedral, a beautiful building, built around 1720. On the way there we passed St Anna's Column, a monument set in the middle of the huge main street, ...
