Innsbruck Experience

A jewel of the Tirol

Advantages: Wonderful, gorgeous scenery
Disadvantages: Nightlife is pretty quiet

I'd never even heard of Innsbruck when I embarked on my European tour in 2002. My good friend I was travelling with was wanting to visit on account of her parents' recommendations, so I agreed and was pleasantly surprised. Innsbruck is simply one of the most beautiful places in Europe. Surrounded by the Alps on one side and the Tuxer mountain range on the other, it is quite impossible to avoid turning a corner in this small city without confronting ...
...in the panoramic views that Innsbruck has to offer. We spent almost an hour up here as we could not get enough of the scenery. In this general vicinity is the baroque church St James Cathedral, and many examples of 15th and 16th century architecture. If you look around closely, some of the buildings still have signs hanging off them of the establishments they once held - I saw one for an inn dating back to the 1600s. All this is located in a fairly ...

Review of Main station of Innsbruck

What a wonderful place to visit

Advantages: beautiful architechture, loads to see and do

(The estimated budget below is if you want to see everything there is to see and do in the city, so don't be alarmed!) It really is a beautiful place to visit, and I would seriously urge anyone to go. ...

Review of Innsbruck (Austria)

My favourite city

Advantages: clean, plenty to see & do, lots of history
Disadvantages: none

I visited Innsbruck on three consecutive years, on holidays that were based in Lermoos in the Austrian Tirol. Innsbruck is a lovely city & well worth a visit. When we went there, it was very clean, the cafes were nice, the people were friendly & there were plenty of things to see & do. The city was the venue for two Olympic Games & they have a museum to commemorate those events, which is worth seeing. There are some great shops too, nice walks & ...
