Best Innsbruck Day Trips & Things to Do

This Alpine town and capital of Tyrol is synonymous with skiing and enveloped by towering snow-capped peaks; it was the site of two Olympic Games. Innsbruck is a fairytale town whose Altstadt (Old Town) is dominated by a Habsburg palace and Baroque cathedral, but its showpiece is the Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof), a glittering oriel built for Emperor Maximilian I consisting of 2,657 gold-plated copper tiles. Skiers making a pilgrimage to this skiing Mecca won’t want to miss nearby Ski Circus, one of the most renowned ski areas in the world. Show All
