Innsbruck Airport FAQs

I arrive late at the airport. Will it be a problem for me to get to the city?

That will not be a problem as there are bus lines running all day (line F) but in case you miss them all, get yourself one of airport taxis which are are available 24/7, and will cost little because the airport is relatively close to the town centre.

I would like to spend one day in Innsbruck in between flights. Is that possible?

Yes, of course. The best way to do so is to take one of the buses which take you directly from the airport to the main station situated in town centre. Unfortunately, the airport does not have a luggage storage service, but the main train station has luggage storage lockers.

I am continuing my journey outside Innsbruck. Are there any direct lines from the airport to other cities?

The best option to visit nearby cities would be to go to the train station first  and  from there take the bus or train which will get you to your destination. You can visit other cities by checking the most popular bus routes at getbybus.com, e.g. Innsbruck to Graz, Innsbruck to Vienna, Innsbruck to Bolzano, Innsbruck to Munich.

Is there free WiFi at Innsbruck Airport?

Yes, the airport provides free WiFi connection for all passengers.

Can I exchange money at the airport to pay for my transfer?

Yes, there is an exchange office at the airport, but it would be better to exchange the money before the trip and have some euros on you since the rate will be a lot higher on the spot and no currency other than euro is accepted.

        Melani were arriving at the innsbruck airport with loads of luggage. I’ve arranged a train from insbruck station to st anton. I guess we get a bus on line f. The Google maps indicate bus line f takes you to a separate stop and you have to walk 20 min to the train station. !!!!

        Pls confirm the bus line f does indeed go direct from airport to main train station.

        Thank you

          Hi,

          in this case, I would double-check the information with the carrier.
          It is possible there were some changes in the routes recently, just to be safe.

    • Melani   •     Author

      Dear John,

      The best option to get to Oetz from Innsbruck is by taking a train from Innsbruck Hbf. Train will make one stop at Ötztal Bahnhof where you will need to make a transfer to train to Oetz Gemeindeamt. Total journey time should be around 1 hour.

    I’m flying into Innsbruck and want to get to Mayrhofen. We’ve been told to get the Bus F from the airport to Innsbruck HBF then train via Jenbach. Can we purchase 1 ticket for the whole journey or do we have to book the bus separately? Can we buy tickets at the airport ?
    many thanks
    Kate

    • Melani   •     Author

      Dear Kate,

      Bus ticket is valid only for journey between Innsbruck Airport and Innsbruck HBF, so you will need to book two separate tickets. Tickets can be bought at the airport, directly from the driver.

    How can I get from Innsbruck airport to mayerhoffen in January ?

    • Maja   •  

      Hi John,

      first, you need to get from the airport to Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof. From there, you can continue by train.
      Usually, you need to switch to a train in Jenbach and then continue to Mayrhofen Bahnhof which is located in the city centre.

    Hi there,
    I am flying to Innsbruck in February on the way to Merano, Italy. I have already booked train tickets from Innsbruck to Merano. How easy is it to get to the train station from Innsbruck Airport? Does the bus line F take us directly to the train station and where can we find the bus stop?
    Thank you,
    Claudia

    • Maja   •  

      Hi Claudia,

      there is a bus line F which connects Innsbruck airport and the train station in about 20 minutes.
      This is the most convenient option to reach the train station. The other option could be a taxi service.
