Also known as the Capital of the Alps, Innsbruck is a city of contrasts in the Alpine province of Tyrol. From a tiny golden roof in the historic old town to the majestic Nordkette mountain range, there is always something to see and do for active nature lovers as well as culture vultures. If you are both, Innsbruck is heaven.
While the Golden Roof, a balcony from the 15th century adorned with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles, is the symbol of Innsbruck, other well-known landmarks include the Bergisel Olympic ski jump and Ambras Castle. The Hafelekarspitze, an Alpine peak, can be reached within an hour from the city center via the Nordkette cableway.
Or you can opt for an easy stroll from the triumphal arch down to the golden roof on Maria Theresa Street. The market square next to the Inn River, with its views of the mountains and a row of colorful old houses, is always a good place to end a day in Innsbruck.
