Innsbruck

Although everything worked out as well as it could have, we had a little travel drama going from Italy to Austria. I had booked a taxi to the train station since full buses had been such an issue, so I thought we were golden for the rest of the trip. Ha.

Once we arrived at the train station, I gradually figured out that no trains were coming through the station. It turns out that track maintenance began *that day,* to be continued into August. As with in Perugia, I found the replacement bus but there was almost no information (at least in English), so we didn’t know where exactly the bus would take us. There also wasn’t room for our big bags, so we upset some people along the way.

We figured out that we needed to disembark in Fortezza, where we waited another hour for another replacement bus that took us all the way to Innsbruck. Fortunately this bus had huge luggage bays, and there was a lovely train employee at the Fortezza station who helped us get on the correct bus. We ended up arriving in Innsbruck at around the same time our canceled train would’ve, so all good in the end.

We walked to our hotel, checked in, and then walked around the old part of the city. Although it would’ve been nice to stay longer to explore the beautiful surrounding mountains, we enjoyed the time we had in Innsbruck.Read more
