Innsbruck

Innsbruck’s old town sits beneath the Nordkette, with cableways carrying visitors from city streets into high mountain scenery. The Golden Roof, Hofburg and Hofkirche recall its imperial past, while Zaha Hadid’s Bergisel ski jump gives the skyline a modern counterpoint. Walk the lanes around the Inn, pause in the Hofgarten or spend an afternoon among the collections at Ambras Castle. Tyrolean cooking and contemporary restaurants make evenings worth planning, particularly after a day in the mountains.
