Innsbruck

Innsbruck has always been a lively city. It has grown at a steady rate since the first settlements of 1180, which clustered in the area now known as the old quarter. Innsbruck's various districts (Altstadt, Pradl, Wilten, Saggen) were gradually amalgamated and became part of the city as it is today. Let's take a quick tour through individual districts.

Innenstadt (The Inner City)

The Inner City and the Old Town together make up the heart of historic Innsbruck. It is well worth going on a walkabout in the narrow streets to soak up the atmosphere. There are lots of fascinating historical sights to see, such as the Hofburg and the Hofkirche; the latter houses the tomb of Emperor Maximilian I. Other attractions also include the women's chapter founded by Maria Theresia, the legendary Goldene Dachl, the imposing baroque church Domkirche St. Jakob with its famous cathedral square, the Triumphpforte (commissioned by Maria Theresia in honour of her son's engagement to the Spanish princess Maria Ludovica), the Annasäule and the Leopoldsbrunnen.

Over the past seven yearsI have made five (5) vacation trips to Europe. Innsbruck Austria has been a stop on each of those trips and I am yet to be disappointed. The Restaurants hotels historical sites and routine daily activities all provide outstanding entertainment and visitor support. From the old olympic village to the old city with the art and music at the Landstheater there was fun and entertainment for the entire three generations of my family.

Our day trips to locations 1-2 hours away were sensational.

Innsbruck is great for hiking

Innsbruck is located between two alpine mountain ranges; a rugged craggy limestone range and a range that is granite which means the hills are gentler and easier. Both are great for day trips; I stayed at a small inn in a village outside Innsbruck which was even cheaper than the city. It was close enough to go to Innsbruck for dinner. I took a lunch and a camera on the hikes. I got some great photographs and every day an animal showed up looking for a share of my lunch -- crows goats cows--it wa... More
Innsbruck is located between two alpine mountain ranges; a rugged craggy limestone range and a range that is granite which means the hills are gentler and easier. Both are great for day trips; I stayed at a small inn in a village outside Innsbruck which was even cheaper than the city. It was close enough to go to Innsbruck for dinner. I took a lunch and a camera on the hikes. I got some great photographs and every day an animal showed up looking for a share of my lunch -- crows goats cows--it was like a trip to Heidi. The people are very friendly. They are also hikers; many spend their lunch hours hiking. The local equivalent of hello is \gruss Gott\ which means \Greet God.\
