I left Ingolstadt at 6 AM, taking a regional train to Munich, then from Munich to Kufstein, and finally Kufstein to Innsbruck.

For my journey from Ingolstadt to Munich, I used the Deutschlandticket, which costs €38 per month with the student discount in Germany.

From Kufstein to Innsbruck (and back), I bought a day ticket called “Einfach-Raus-Ticket” on the ÖBB app (Austria’s railway app). It cost €37 and covered my entire trip on ÖBB regional trains (R, REX, CJX, S-Bahn). I highly recommend installing the ÖBB app and buying tickets through it — it’s very convenient since you just show the QR code to the ticket checker. You can also visit via their website.

Once you arrive in Innsbruck, you can also buy a 24-hour city transport ticket for €7 if you don’t want to walk a lot. In my case, I didn’t buy this ticket because I love walking from place to place, enjoying the views along the way. Most attractions are within walking distance anyway. 

In Innsbruck, I spent time exploring the Altstadt (Old Town), strolling through Maria-Theresien-Straße, and visiting some monuments. After that, I headed up to the Top of Innsbruck, which offers a breathtaking 360° view over the city and the Karwendel Nature Reserve.

The price of the cable car ticket varies depending on the option you choose. The ticket I bought gave me full access to reach the top. Note that the cable car runs every 15 minutes, and it’s very important to check the time of the last descent back down so you don’t miss it.
