Main station of Innsbruck

...you a bit about the main station of my hometown Innsbruck. I hope you will like it because I gave a lot of efforts to make it as detailed as I could.

Advantages: Immaculate rooms, polite and courteous staff
Disadvantages: Bathroom became rather hot and damp

...Spent three nights at the Europa Tyrol, and it was a very enjoyable experience. The hotel is located opposite to the main station in Innsbruck and is only a short walk to the shops and the Golden Roof which is at the heart of the city. The hotel is actually connected to the main railway via a tunnel which offers exclusive use for guests. The rooms were immaculate, and very nicely furnished.

It made it all a bit of an adventure and I quite like getting wet anyway. Hiking (or walking) was the main part of our holiday, but we also used the trains to travel further afield. There are two train stations in Kitzbuhel. We went to Innsbruck (e24 return) and several small towns like St.Johann (previously mentioned) and Kufstein (e15). Needless to say the trains were clean and on time, a pleasure to use. The trains can take you to most places reachable in a day such as Salzburg, Vienna and Munich There was much more for us to do as well, such as: Paragliding from the summit of the Hahnenkamm mountain (oh, my God! I've never shaken so much in my life, but it was well worth the e80 for the experience... Read review
