Why Innsbruck matters
Innsbruck is a rare place where a historic city and serious mountains share the same postcard. Pastel townhouses and the famous Golden Roof line the old town, and a cable car takes you from the centre to the high ridge in minutes. Winter Olympics were held here twice, and skiing and hiking are minutes away. Come for the contrast of culture and cliffs.
Talking points
- You can go from café to mountain peak in about 30 minutes.
- The Winter Olympics have been held here twice.
- The old town has pastel houses and a golden roof.
