Tyrol is an Austrian federal state located between Vorarlberg to the west, German Bavaria to the north, Salzburg or Carinthia to the east and south Tyrol - the Italian part of Tyrol - to the south. Tyrol is the most mountainous state in Austria, rich in alpine landscapes with charming valleys and mountain pastures. Tyrol is a favourite travel destination thanks to both its thousands-year-old history and its big number of skiing areas. Apart from the capital city Innsbruck, the main sights in Tyrol are the towns of Kufstein, Rattenberg, Schwaz and Kitzbühel, as well as the Stubai Glacier, the Ötztal, the Alpbachtal, the lake Achensee, the Karwendel and Kaisergebirge mountains, the monasteries of Stams, Fiecht and Wilten, the Bergisel Mountain, the Swarovski Cristal Worlds, and many other museums, palaces, castles, and all kinds of places worth-seeing. With Austria Bus, you can rent buses and minibuses for sightseeing tours and bus trips in Tyrol, bus transfers into Tyrol's skiing areas or airport transfers to or from Innsbruck, Munich, Salzburg and Bolzano / Bozen. On this page you will find a few suggestions for excursions with a coach in Tyrol - for further ideas you can at any time join the Austria Bus rental team.
For example, Austria Bus can rent buses or minivans for bus trips to the following towns and tourist sights in Tyrol:

The Bergisel is Innsbruck's landmark mountain. During the War of the Sixth Coalition, the Bergisel was the theater of famous battles lead by Andreas Hofer. The Kaiserjäger Museum - dedicated to the Austrian alpine hunters during the War of the Sixth Coalition - and the Bergisel Stadium were both later built on the Bergisel, just like the Bergisel ski jump, the emblem of Innsbruck and of the whole Tyrol that can be seen from far away. At the foot of the Bergisel, you will find Wilten Abbey and Wilten Basilica: you could include these two monuments in a bus trip to the Bergisel or in a guided tour of Innsbruck's Old Town, or even in a bus trip around Innsbruck. Austria Bus would be pleased to organize your excursion to the Bergisel, including a guided tour of the Bergisel Stadium, or also a bus trip to Innsbruck with a visit of the Bergisel Mountain.
The town of Kufstein is located in the Inn Valley, about half way between Innsbruck and Salzburg and close to the border with Bavaria. It is historically a very interesting place because of all the changes it experienced, and people come from far away to see its many extraordinary sights. The main monument is the Kufstein Fortress, whose majestic outline caracteristically towers above the city of Kufstein. You will find there the Heroes' Organ, the biggest open-air organ in the world which can be heard from far away everyday at 12 a.m. The Madersperger Museum is also a very interesting place dedicated to the inventor from Kufstein Madersperger, who invented the sewing machine. Austria Bus would be glad to take care of your bus trip to Kufstein or to include a visit of Kufstein in different sightseeing programs in Tyrol, for instance as a stop on the way from Innsbruck to Munich or from Innsbruck to Salzburg, or vice versa.
Rattenberg is the smallest town in Austria, yet there is a lot to be seen there: from the top of the fortress high over Rattenberg, you will enjoy a wonderful panoramic view on the Inn Valley; In the house where St. Notburga was born you will learn the thrilling story of this local saint, and in the Glassworks Kisslinger you will be able to watch how glass is traditionally made and to buy some souvenirs. Austria Bus will be pleased to organize for you coach excursions to Rattenberg or bus transfers to and from Rattenberg, or to include a visit of Rattenberg in a bigger Tyrol sightseeing bus tour.
The silver town Schwaz used to be one of the richest towns in Europe: under the rule of the Fugger family, 85% of the world's silver was mined in Schwaz, and Schwaz Silver Mine is still there to remind us of those times and will provide an unforgettable experience for young and old. Yet the Old Town is also worth seeing: the Parish Church is the only Gothic hall church with two naves in Europe, and the Fuggers' home is a proof of the past splendour. There is so much to tell about Schwaz - did you know the "Dollar" had its origins there? The Austria Bus team will gladly organize for you half-day or full-day excursions to Schwaz as well as autobus transfers to or from Schwaz.
Hall in Tirol is one of the most fascinating towns in Tyrol and can easily be visited during a half-day bus trip starting from Tyrol's capital city Innsbruck. Hall in Tirol's landmark is the castle of Burg Hasegg with its former mint and the "Mint Tower" ("Münzerturm") that can be seen from very far away - but the Parish Church, St. Magdalena Chapel and the convent are also worth seeing. Austria Bus would be pleased to organize your excursions or transfers with a bus or minibus to and from Hall in Tirol, and could combine it for example with a visit of the Swarovski Cristal Worlds in the nearby town of Wattens.
