Christmas like it used to be
Innsbruck’s Christkindlbahn back on track
The Innsbruck Christkindlbahn makes nostalgic hearts beat faster. The historic Christmas train (built in 1907) will be back on track in the Tyrolean capital during Advent and will not only delight children.
Christmas as it used to be - many Innsbruck residents can certainly still remember it, but for the younger generation it is a fairly new, atmospheric pre-Christmas experience.
Awakened to new life
It was December 1969 when the first Christmas train ran through the provincial capital of Innsbruck. With interruptions, the train then made its rounds in the run-up to Christmas until 2008.
In cooperation with the IVB, the Tiroler MuseumsBahnen and with the support of the tourism association and the Christmas markets, the city brought the historic Christmas train back to life in 2016.
On the move every Friday and Saturday
Railcar 19 and sidecar 147 (both built in 1907) will be on the rails again this year. From November 29 to December 21, every Friday and Saturday between 3 and 6.30 pm, the Christkindlbahn will be making its rounds in the city center. The ride on the festively decorated streetcar through the Christmas town is free of charge.
