Tyrol is one of the Lande of Austria, in the heart of the Alps. It consists of North and East Tyrol, separated by a strip of Salzburg and Italy. North Tyrol consists of eight districts; East Tyrol of just one, Lienz. Overview. It is located in the west of Austria and is one of the largest federal states in the country. Tyrol is also unique because it is divided between Austria and Italy. Most of Tyrol lies in the Alps and is home to some of the highest peaks in Austria, including Großglockner (3,798 metres) and Wildspitz (3,768 metres). Since Innsbruck is the capital city of Tirol and also located centrally in its state, transport connections to almost all places are efficient and fast. I recommend to buy a weekly pass for the entire Tirol region, which costs 55-60€ and allows taking all means of transport in Tyrol, including local lines Innsbruck.

When the original dynasty of counts died out in 1363, control of the Tyrol was taken over by the royal Habsburgs. In fact, from that point, the title of the ‘Count of Tirol’ was sometimes assumed by the Holy Roman Emperor himself. Summer Holidays (Group 2)*. 6 Jul 2024. (Sat) 8 Sep 2024.
