LOCATION
Innsbruck lies on the banks of the Inn River in a scenic valley in the 
Tirolean Alps. A medieval gem and Olympic city twice over, Innsbruck has 
worked to preserve its historical beauty while establishing itself as a 
dynamic and versatile modern city in the heart of Europe. It boasts a 
number of historical landmarks and artistic treasures, among them the 
"Black Knights," the Court Palace, the Golden Roof, and Ambras Castle.

Innsbruck is a city that holds something for everyone. It is a unique 
travel experience that should not be missed.
