General information

 

The venue

Congress Innsbruck
Rennweg 3, 6020 Innsbruck
Austria
www.come-innsbruck.at

A convention centre combining top international standards with Tyrolean charm. The distances are short, the layout clear and all the facilities under one roof. Above all, we attach great importance to personal service, so that every function is an occassion in itself - a real event.

 

Congress Innsbruck was built in 1973 and extended by half in 1995. One of its greatest benefits to conference delegates is its location at the very centre of Innsbruck, next to its Old City with a number of famous landmarks, its gothic cobbled streets and a number of restaurants and bars.

There are direct international flights at certain days from London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Göteborg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Oslo and Stavanger.
In addition, charter flights are available from and to a number of additional European destinations.

Intercontinental travellers normally connect via Frankfurt, Vienna or Amsterdam. As many intercontinental non-stop flights arrive in Munich, this airport may also be considered as a final destination.
