Innsbruck City Break

Internationally renowned as one of the best destinations in the world for skiing, the towering peaks of the Alps surrounding Innsbruck are popular with those skiing and snowboarding fanatics among us. Known as the "heart of the Alps", Innsbruck Skiing is some of the best in the world with an international airport and a rail network making the location an easy to reach tourist destination.

An Innsbruck city break includes some of the best slopes in the world and is sure to impress. The city is a world away from the large architectural monuments that can be found on a nearby Munich City Break. Instead the resort is catered to its location and is perfectly situated for winter sports lovers. As Innsbruck is situated just south of Munich, many people visit the festivities at the Munich Christmas Market during the winter period, as a break from their skiing activities, and experience the tradition that surrounds Germany at Christmas time.

The main shopping centres in Innsbruck include the centrally located Rathaus Gallerien, along with the nearby malls of DEZ-Einkaufszentrum and Einkaufcenter Sillpark. The Capital of the Alps is a open-air shopping mall that can be found in the centre of Innsbruck.

To have a unique shopping experience visit the Old Town, where shopping and sightseeing can be combined. Go along the pedestrianised Maria Theresien Strasse, and also along the Herzog Friedrich Strasse. Here numerous souvenir shops can be found. In one of the oldest buildings of the town the shop Swarovski is housed, where beautifully made crystalware from the Tyrol region can be purchased.

Close to Innsbruck and within the neighbouring village of Neu-Rum are a number of converted shopping warehouses, which are well worth a visit.

Numerous Würstelstandl (sausage stands) are scattered throughout the city. They offer quick and simple snacks and cheap drinks which means they are very popular with both locals and tourists. They can be found opposite the Golden Roof, on Maria-Theresien-Straße in front of the Kaufhaus Tyrol, at the triumphal arch, and a late-night address well known among locals, 'Franz' on the Südring.

Stiftskeller or the Ottoburg offer traditional Austrian and Tyrolean food at reasonable prices.

Innsbruck is also host to numerous international culinary restaurants. For example, there are many Italian restaurants ranging from self-service restaurants, such as Salute, the Prendi branches or Innrain to the more gourmet Da Peppino, situated close to the Old Town.

Thai cuisine is also popular in Innsbruck. Thai Li is a small, award-winning establishment that serves inexpensive lunches and is situated in the outer walls of the Old Town.

Papa Joe's and Chili's serve American-Caribbean and an American-Mexican cuisine.

In Innsbruck there is a culture of part-restaurant, part-cafe and part-bar establishments which are open all day and some throughout the night. Some examples include Krahvogl, Elferhaus or Theresienbräu.

The café culture in Innsbruck is also thriving. Cafe Katzung has a relaxed atmosphere where coffee can be drunk at leisure, passing away long afternoons. Cafe Central is much larger and more rustic and serves warm meals.

The Stadtturm (City Tower) situated in the Old Town, rises high above the town and offers spectacular views of the city and mountains.

Ferdinandeum is one of Innsbruck's most popular and noted museums, and houses an extensive art collection from the Middle Ages to modern day. The Zeughaus used to hold the former armoury within its walls, and now offers a journey through Tyrol's history.

The Goldenes Dachl gleams above the city of Innsbruck and is prominent in its sky-line. It is a former royal residence and its name, meaning Golden Roof, derives from the canopy of gilded copper tiles which gleam like gold in the sun.

The Imperial Palace (Kaiserliche Hofburg) stands at the centre of the town and is a testament to Innsbruck's former glory. The interior rooms with their decadent and opulent décor make the Imperial Palace a must-see for any tourist.

On the outskirts of Innsbruck, in Wattens, is the Swarovski Crystal Museum (Swarovski Kristallwelten) whose display of crystals include designs by Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol and are well worth a visit.

The Castle Ambras is perched high above Innsbruck, Ambras Castle can be seen for miles around and is one of the most important sights of Stuttgart.

The Court Church houses the cenotaph of Emperor Maximilian I. Twenty eight larger-than-life bronze statues of the Emperor's relatives and ancestors flank the monumental tomb.

The Alpine Zoo is home to over 2000 Alpine animals of 150 species from the entire region of the Alps.
