Historic Innsbruck is the capital city of the Austrian state of Tyrol. Literally nestled right into the heart of the Alps, Innsbruck is a breathtaking city, behind which the mountains rise like tall, dramatic fortress walls. Innsbruck has an illustrious history that goes back centuries, perhaps most prevalently as part of the Hapsburg Empire. It’s a major destination for skiing and snow sports, and the city itself is full of beautiful old buildings like the 16th century Hofkirche, and the stunning Golden Roof. Visitors to Innsbruck will enjoy strolling along the Inn River, riding the Nordkette funicular for some amazing views, and spending their free time in the mountains, whether it’s for a hike or climbing trip in the summer, or on skis in the winter.
