City Info

Sandwiched in a narrow corridor between Bavarian Germany and Italy, western Austria is dominated by a beautiful stretch and Alpine mountains and colored by the  two lively cultures.  In the middle of it all is the scenic valley city of Innsbruck, surrounded by breathtaking beauty and filled with activity.

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, the Annasäule and the Leopoldsbrunnen.
