What type of car is recommended for driving in Innsbruck?

Innsbruck is the capital of the Austrian state of Tyrol, a city in The Alps that has long been a destination for winter sports. When driving in the city, we recommend that you hire a smaller car to get around a bit better and make it easy for you to use those small car parks; however, if you plan to travel outside of Innsbruck, it may be better to get a larger, more durable car for longer journeys. You will need to find which vehicle best suits your purpose in Innsbruck.

Where are the best places to park in Innsbruck?

If you hire a car in Innsbruck, chances are you have booked accommodation, and they will most likely have parking available to you during your stay. If you can't park at your lodgings, you should still be able to park your hired car on the street in front of it. As a final resolution, you can, alternatively, find a car park where you can leave your hired car, or you can park at the dealership you hired it from.
