🇦🇹 Innsbruck Travel Guide - From a UK Perspective

✈️ Arrival & Transport Landed, hopped on a 15-min bus to the city center—easy! 🏔️ Day 1: Alpine Adventure Nordkette (Top of Innsbruck): Bought tickets at Congress Station (UK student ID got me a discount!). Ride: Funicular + 2 cable cars → summit + optional 100m hike. ⚠️ Skip the Alpenzoo (€11 for barely any animals). Spotted the Golden Roof en route—no need to rush inside. 💎 Day 2: Swarovski HQ Bus: No student discounts, but worth the trip for sparkly souvenirs. Tax refund tip: Use the blue/green mailboxes at the airport (call the posted number if office is closed—don’t use your mobile!). 🍽️ Food Recs (and Fails) ✅ Machete — Burrito Kartell: African-style meat wraps (pork = 🔥), cheap & tasty! ✅ Thai Li Ba: Solid Thai lunch. ✅ AKROPOLIS: Reliable Greek. ❌ Guangzhou Lou: "Chinese" food fail. ☕ Café Katzung: Decent omelets by the Golden Roof. 🍔 McDonald’s: Weekend backup (book ahead—restaurants fill up!). #UKtoAustria #Innsbruck #StudentTravel #TaxFreeShopping
