Innsbruck, Austria
GETTING
THERE
The town of Innsbruck is located in the heart of the Alps
in the Tyrol region of northwestern Austria. Delegates may
reach Innsbruck by one of three methods:
BY TRAIN
The train is a convenient and affordable method of travel
within Western Europe. German Rail (Deutsche Bahn) is particularly
clean and always runs on schedule. Recommended departure
cities are Munich, Germany (2-3 hours) and Zurich, Switzerland
(4-5 ½ hours). Travel times vary depending on the
speed of the train that you choose. There are train stations
conveniently located at the international airports in both
Zurich and Munich that connect to the main stations. The
price of a return ticket (high speed - first class) from
Munich to Innsbruck is approximately $75 US dollars. The
Innsbruck train station is roughly 5 minutes by car from
the historical center (where the majority of hotels and
the Congress Center are located). The cost of a taxi from
the train station to the center is approximately $7 US dollars.
