Where do I get the bus from?

You can catch the bus from outside of the main terminal building at Innsbruck Airport. You’re looking for bus F.

Convenience

Travelling by bus isn’t very convenient. The airport bus can be crowded and cumbersome to navigate with small children and heavy luggage. That said, it is an inexpensive option if you’re on a very tight budget. The bus also runs frequently from the airport so you should only have to wait for 20 minutes maximum.

Editor’s Note

If you choose to travel by bus, I recommend packing light. Storage space is very limited.

Useful Tips

There are family tickets available at a discounted rate if you’re travelling with children.
Bus tickets are cheapest if you buy them online or from the ticket machine by the airport bus stop.
Seating is first come, first served on public buses in Innsbruck, so try to arrive 10-15 minutes before your bus departs.
