Innsbruck

Innsbruck

Haloed by mountain tops, this Austrian city’s phenomenal setting has made it a favourite amongst skiers and snowboarders. Some of the world's very best ski resorts are just a short distance away.

In the summer months Innsbruck remains refreshingly lively, with hiking, biking, and other cultural treasures to be explored.

You can transport yourself from the centre of the Tyrol capital to the peaks of the Nordkette mountain range in just 20 minutes. Take a lift ride to the top and savour some unforgettable views of the city below.

The city itself is a work of art. At the heart of the historic Old Town you'll find the Golden Roof - a remarkable alcove balcony which comprises more than 2,500 fire-gilded copper tiles adorning the roof. The stunning Imperial Palace is a thing of beauty, and the Imperial Gardens - which date back to the early 15th century - are ripe for exploring.

This charming city, set against the backdrop of the Nordkette mountain range, will leave you in awe.
