Innsbruck is located along the A12/A13 highway corridor ([[Inn Valley Autobahn]] and [[Brenner Autobahn]] respectively), providing freeway access to [[Verona]], Italy and [[Munich]], Germany. The A12 and A13 converge near Innsbruck, at which point the A13 terminates.

[[Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof]], the most important railway station of Innsbruck and Tyrol, is one of the busiest railway stations in Austria. It is served by the [[Lower Inn Valley railway|Lower Inn Valley line]] to Germany and eastern Austria, the [[Arlberg railway|Arlberg line]] to the west and the [[Brenner railway|Brenner line]], which connects northern Italy with southern Germany via the [[Brenner Pass]]. Since December 2007 suburban services have been operated as the [[Innsbruck S-Bahn]].

[[Innsbruck Airport]] is located in the suburb of Kranebitten, which is located in the west of the city. It provides services to airports including [[Frankfurt]], [[London]], [[Amsterdam]] and [[Vienna]]. It also handles regional flights around the [[Alps]], as well as seasonal flights to other destinations. During the winter, activity increases significantly, due to the high number of skiers travelling to the region. The airport is approximately {{convert|4|km|mi|1}} from the centre of Innsbruck.

Local public transport is provided by Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe (IVB), a public authority operating a network of bus and [[tram]] routes.  The metre-gauge [[Trams in Innsbruck|tram network]] consists of four city lines, 1, 2, 3 and 5, and two lines serving the surrounding area: {{nowrap|line 6}}, the Innsbrucker Mittelgebirgsbahn to Igls, and line ''STB'', the [[Stubaitalbahn]] running through the [[Stubaital|Stubai Valley]] to [[Fulpmes]]. The network is planned to be enlarged during the coming years to reach the neighboring village Rum in the east and [[Völs, Austria|Völs]] in the west. Numerous bus lines serve the inner city and connect it with surrounding areas. Until 2007 the bus network included two [[trolleybus]] routes, but these were abandoned in preparation for planned expansion of the tram network.

In December 2007, the [[Hungerburgbahn]], a [[funicular]] service to the district of Hungerburg, was reopened after a two-year closure for extensive rebuilding, with partial realignment and a new extension under the [[Inn River]] and into central Innsbruck.  The line was also equipped with new vehicles. Because of the unique design of the stations, drafted by the famous architect [[Zaha Hadid]], the funicular evolves immediately to a new emblem of the city.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.austria.info/au/basic-facts/special-recommendations/hungerburg-funicular|title=Hungerburgbahn Innsbruck}}</ref> The line was rebuilt by the Italian company Leitner, and can now carry up to 1,200 persons per hour.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.leitner-ropeways.com/en/company/references/if130-hungerburgbahn-643/|title=IF130 Hungerburgbahn|access-date=25 August 2016|archive-date=12 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200112172711/https://www.leitner-ropeways.com/en/company/references/if130-hungerburgbahn-643/|url-status=dead}}</ref> It is operated by a private company, the 'Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen'.
