Getting into Town

Bus: Buses run every 15 minutes between the airport and Innsbruck Station (Hauptbahnhof). The trip takes less than 20 minutes and the bus stop at the airport is right outside the airport building. Tickets cost €1.80.

Shuttles: As the airport is mainly used by passengers going skiing, there are several companies that offer airport transfers directly from the airport. While these transfers are convenient, many of them are over-priced. Passengers who wish to avoid this should stick to the cheap and efficient public transport network in and around Innsbruck.

Taxis: Taxis can be found at the taxi rank, which is in front of the airport. Taxis fares depend on your destination. Check the airport’s website for fares to resorts and towns in and around the region.
