Innsbruck Vacations, Innsbruck Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Innsbruck is the largest city in the Tyrol region in the Alps. It's population comprise mostly of students from the university. The city is situated in the foot of the Nordkette mountain range. It is also one of the centres of international winter sport competitions (eg, winter Olympics) and starting point of backpackers and trekkers into the Tyrolean Alps in Austria.

It is also a stopping point for many tours. The old town section where the Hapsburgs ruled for so long and where Maximilian's Goldenes Dachl "Golden Roof" are located is part of the walking tours.

A quaint street not far from the Goldenes Dachl can be found in the winter months full of fairy-tale characters (Hans Christian Anderson style) high up on the buildings and beautifully lit.
The Hofkirche (Imperial church) contains the empty sarcophagus of Maximillian I.

Also, the largest Swarovski Crystal Gallery is located in this area.
