The town itself dates back to the 9th Century and displays beautiful medieval buildings and a pleasant pedestrian area perfect for strolling around. There is an alluring nightlife scene and some commendable eateries, not to mention designer boutiques and stores selling jewellery and souvenirs, though in some cases prices are almost as steep as the ski runs. If window shopping isn’t enough to satisfy, there's always curling, concerts, the alpine zoo or Kitzbuhel's Casino, as well as an enticing array of spa treatments to choose from for which the resort is renowned. Apres the above, make the most of your Austrian holiday by sinking into a chair in one of Kitzbuhel's bars and unwinding over a cocktail.
