Before you travel to Innsbruck by plane - good to know!

Innsbruck itself is a charming, but relatively compact city, and seeing all of the sights should be possible in a few days. The baroque cathedral is a highlight, but is actually eclipsed by the Court Church, which was the burial place of Holy Roman Emperors. Strolling down Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse is like stepping back to the 18th century (and don't miss the spectacular golden-roofed merchant's houses), and the ornate decorations of the Hofburg Palace are breathtaking. Skiers and hikers will want to head further afield, but everyone can get a taste of Alpine scenery by riding the funicular railway to Hungerburg, which commands gorgeous views across the city.
