Tyrol, 569m
Innsbruck’s old town is brimming with
gothic and baroque buildings, amongst
them the world-renowned ‘Golden
Roof’, the cathedral, churches,
museums and palaces, all bearing witness
to Innsbruck’s imperial past. Surrounding
the city are majestic mountain ranges
offering easy rambles or serious alpine
climbing, all within easy reach
by bus and newly refurbished cable
cars. A must is a visit to the
Alpen Zoo, Europe’s highest zoo, presenting
a wonderful glimpse of alpine wildlife.
Remember to stop by one of the cosy
cafés dotted around Innsbruck or make your way up to a mountain hut to enjoy Tyrolean hospitality. Innsbruck combines the best aspects of both town and country, making for a wonderful and contrasting holiday.
