About the Book
Stationed in the mountains, Innsbruck - the Tyrolean center of western Austria, has hosted three Olympics in 1964, 1976, and 2012. With enchanting colorful buildings, authentic traditions, endearing resorts, onion domes, and exuberant use of bells, Innsbruck offers much more than a destination for winter sports. Ski your risky runs on the Alpine slopes or play Biathlon on the 8-inch cutter. It's good for the soul! Take a horse ride down the Altstadt to see the Golden Roof. Lodge in the Alpine village. Visit Swarovski's "Two Worlds of Crystals" to treat your senses with an exhibit that offers Dali's 'Soft Watches' in a frosted glass, or the world's largest 300,000-carat cut crystal. Order fast food, a speck-goulash sandwich with schnapps, or have Carpaccio - filet mignon and Schnitzel at an Austrian pub. Don't forget to visit the Grassmyar family to watch the casting of the famous grand bells. Could be told more, but this tour book has it all. Welcome to Innsbruck/Austria, the city on the river Inn.// Visit other travel diaries from this author: (1) Amalfi Coast, Italy; (2) Amazing Andorra; (3) Amazing Bavaria; (4) Amazing Berlin; (5) Amazing Bhutan; (6) Amazing Cave-Houses; (7) Amazing Domes; (8) Amazing Dublin; (9) Amazing Falkland Islands; (10) Amazing Finland; (11) Amazing Florence; (12) Amazing French Riviera; (13) Amazing Greenland; (14) Amazing Gozo, Malta; (15) Amazing Iceland; (16) Amazing Innsbruck; (17) Amazing Jurmala, Latvia; (18) Amazing Monaco; (19) Amazing Naples; (20) Amazing Palau; (21) Amazing Paris; (22) Amazing Railways; (23) Amazing Salzburg; (24) Amazing Scotland; (25) Amazing Tree Houses; (26) Amazing Vatican; (27) Amazing Vienna; (28) Amazing Windows; (29) Amazing Wyoming; (30) Amazing Zürich; (31) Annecy, France; (32) Austin, Texas; (33) Banff, Alberta; (34) Bruges & Ghent, Belgium; (35) Cabo San Lucas; (36) Celle, Germany; (37) Christmas Island; (38) Cocos Keeling Islands; (39) Colmar, France; (40) Cork & Kenmare, Ireland; (41) Easter Island, Chile; (42) Exquisite Bath, England; (43) Fifty Odd Loci in the United States; (44) Fiji; (45) Granada, Spain; (46) Interlaken and Saint Moritz, Switzerland; (47) Interlaken, Unterseen, St Moritz: Switzerland; (48) Island Saint Helena, British Overseas; (49) Isle of Man; (50) Lafayette, Louisiana; (51) Las Pozas, Xilitla, Mexico; (52) Lecco, Italy; (53) Lille, France; (54) Madeira, Portugal; (55) Montserrat, British West Indies; (56) Mulhouse, France; (57) Myrtle Beach, SC; (58) Nara, Japan; (59) Novo Mesto, Slovenia; (60) Obernai, France; (61) Odd & Outre Places of Washington, DC; (62) Palma de Mallorca, Spain; (63) Poznan, Poland; (64) Saint Lucia; (65) San Marino; (66) Santa Fe, NM; (67) Sardinia, Italy; (68) Sélestat, France; (69) Seville, Spain; (70) Sint Maarten: Dutch & French Overseas; (71) Sintra, Portugal; (72) Socotra Island, Yemen; (73) South Georgia & Sandwich Islands, Britain; (74) St John's: Newfoundland-Labrador, Canada; (75) Strasbourg, France; (76) Svalbard, Norway; (77) The Faroe Islands; (78) The Rabbit Island; (79) The Trulli of Alberobello, Italy; (80) Tristan da Cunha; (81) Via Aurelia; (82) Via Belgica; (83) Via Canalis; (84) Via Claudia Augusta, (85) Via de la Plata, (86) Via Domitia; (87) Via Fossa; (88) Via Hadriana; (89) Via Kolossus; (90) Via Maris; (91) Via Militaris, (92) Via Pontica, (93) Via Schlavonia, and (94) Wissembourg, France.
