My 24 Hours in Innsbruck

We start with a laid-back and sumptuous breakfast at Deliris, located at the Wiltener Platzl. This café offers vegan products and most notably a lot local produce. Afterwards we stroll in the direction of Innsbruck’s old town, always along the street Maria-Theresien. This street has everything you could want shopping-wise: from high-end fashion at the store Einwaller to vintage bargains at the NOWHERE Vintage Store. And the usual suspects like H&M and COS are all to be found here, of course. If you want to get your hands on something truly local or are looking for a nice souvenir to bring back home, feinheiten… in the old town of the city is where you’ll find it all. This store sells lots of locally produced goods like soap, stationery, handbags and jewellery.

We have lunch at Indigo, which is a good spot for vegans and vegetarians, or at Olive, also very recommendable and right across the street from Deliris.

From the mountain Nordkette you have the best view over all of Innsbruck, and a little hike is definitely part of a perfect day anyway. We decide to either go on a longer tour or just hop onto the cable car, arrive at the Hafelekar and start walking from there. Even at 2000 metres above sea level the alpine world has a lot of hiking routes to offer. Stopping at one of the super snug huts up here and being treated with a delicious ‘Kaspressknödle-Suppe’ (soup) is absolutely part of this adventure.

When staying in town we love to have our afternoon coffee at the cosy Klein und Fein Café, which is run with lots of love and offers the most delicious little treats, such as homemade cakes and cupcakes! Their lunch offer is always excellent, too. When we’re back out on the street, we keep on ambling through the historic city centre, slowly making our way to see the colourful Innzeile and the Hofgarten, a romantic little park. For all this walking we need some coffee to go for sure, and the best spot to get it is at Coffee Kult.

Tonight we feel like having pizza, which means Crocodiles is the restaurant of choice. Their pizza with spelt flour dough is almost too good to be true! But don’t forget to book a table beforehand.

A really cool place for an (after-work) drink is Pangea. Their selection of drinks is huge and the little snacks they offer are a real treat for foodies.
