Olympic city...and not just the once either. World famous thanks to the Four Hills Tournament.
Historically evolving cultural centre with an 800 year old past. City of art treasures, famous for its "Goldenes Dachl" (golden roof), the "Schwarze Mander" bronze figures, the Hofburg imperial palace and Ambras Castle.
Vivid history combined with big names like Emperor Maximilian I and Maria Theresia. Battleground for Tyrolean freedom and sporting medals. City stroll and mountain conquests. Tyrolean evenings, oompah music and baroque opera, lederhosen and dinner jackets. University, congress and shopping city.
You don’t come here for one reason alone. You come for the variety.
Don’t just see, better still experience the jewels of this alpine metropolis. These take the form of splendid constructions in the heart of the city, as impressive works of art in imperial residences, churches and museums.
However, the most breathtaking gems of all are the majestic, towering mountains and surrounding natural scenery as well as the ever-present contrast between the old tradition and the vitality of a modern town.
