Staying in St. Nikolaus and Mariahilf
The map can hide an important detail on this side of the Inn: some addresses sit beside the river, while others climb sharply behind it. Check the route from your chosen bridge to the front door, especially with luggage. Innbrücke brings you directly toward the old town, while the river path offers a longer route without repeatedly crossing the central lanes.
