#2024TravelReview On the way from Munich to the Dolomites in Italy, we stopped at the beautiful mountain town of #Innsbruck in Austria. Since it is close to the Alps, you can take pictures of the majestic snow-capped mountains behind you from the city streets, so it is also a popular tourist attraction. The city of Innsbruck is not large, but it has a superior geographical location and the Alps as its unique backdrop, so it is quite photogenic. The Goldenes Dachl, the golden roof, and the Stadtturm, the town hall tower, located in the downtown area, are arguably the most famous buildings in Innsbruck. The cathedral and the Hofburg are also not to be missed. The Innsbruck Cathedral, Dom Zu St. Jakob, was originally a typical Gothic building, but it was rebuilt in Baroque style after a fire. The painting "Madonna and Child" on the main altar is very famous. Innsbruck also has a royal palace, but it is not as large. By the way, there are also two attractions outside the tourist service center, namely the Annasäule, which commemorates the eradication of the Black Death, and the Arc de Triomphe, which can be seen in many European cities. #SwissTravel #Alps #Innsbruck

Austrians love music, and the classical music of Vienna still influences many people to this day. Innsbruck is like the leaping notes on 'The Blue Danube' waltz, embedded in the musical score of the Alps . Innsbruck not only has millennia-old glaciers , clear yet profound lakes, but it is also home to the headquarters of the globally renowned crystal brand Swarovski. There are so many reasons to visit; you could be a hiking enthusiast, a diving enthusiast, or perhaps, just a lover of beauty, you should also make the trip. 👍Highly recommended: The Imperial Roof This was once the royal residence and is now the symbol of the entire city. The golden roof silently tells of past glories under the setting sun. The Triumphal Arch Different from the Arc de Triomphe in France, this Triumphal Arch was built by the former empress to celebrate the prince's grand wedding, and it is also a testament to love. St. Theresa's Church Located in the old town of Innsbruck, nestled against the Karwendel mountain range, its majestic Gothic architecture stands out, with a large number of frescoes and sculptures both dry and wet inside. Anna's Column Anna's Column contemplates the spirit of Innsbruck and also commemorates everyone who drove away the Bavarian troops that year.

★Trip Moments In My Life★ M.005: Innsbruck is a colorful, picturesque city in western Austria. It nestled in the Alps valley and surrounded by enormous snow-capped mountains. Innsbruck is also known as a famous sports city, which is the only one that has held the Winter Olympic Games for 3 times. - Sep.30, 2006

The girl's heart-studded Austria's most beautiful pink church, Jesuit Church , is not far from the St. Stephen's Cathedral, but the jesuit church is not far away, but this is what I want. On this trip, I saw the fairytale blue church and saw the pink church that was enough to break the girl's heart. How lucky it was. The pink reality inside the church and its ordinary appearance can't make a huge "contrast sprout". Who can think of a church with such a simple surface, which can hide such a pink ocean inside. This is a Catholic church, completely without tourists, very quiet. Recommend everyone with a girl's heart, you can come here to see. The church is located in the heart of Vienna, Austria, just a ten minute walk from St. Steve Cathedral.

After learning about Europe, I fell in love with the market. No matter which country, it seems that the market is very popular, there are all kinds of food and beauty. In Austria, we have time to visit this market. Let's not talk about the things that are sold in the market. The atmosphere is enough to make people fascinated. It seems that Europeans also love chestnuts, and there are many stalls selling chestnuts at the entrance to the Louvre. A table, standing to eat, standing and drinking mulled wine, this is the normal state of the ancient city of Innsbruck. There are many creative sculptures on the street, mostly in fairy tale style. There are also a lot of people who are entertaining, very interesting. Super nice Christmas grandfather, took me to take a photo, very cute. In addition to the usual market that is open on weekends, there will be a special Christmas market during Christmas, which sells mostly Christmas-themed items.

Lovely view from hotel room

Although it was summer when we went to Innsbruck, we could take advantage of the long sunshine hours to stroll around the city. The Beishan Cable Car was an important part of our trip. We took the Innsbruck Card and took the cable car all the way to the top. We chose the earliest time, 08:00-09:00, with the least number of people and the best scenery! We arrived at the highest point and started by driving sheep up the mountain. It was a very interesting experience! #Innsbruck #Beishan Cable Car #InnsbruckCard

One of the things I was most looking forward to during my trip to Austria was climbing the Alps in Innsbruck! The actual view of the Alps unfolding before my eyes was beyond imagination, and the snow-covered scenery that seemed to touch the sky made me feel completely refreshed. In Innsbruck, you can take the Funicular (mountain railway) to ascend the Alps. The Funicular is free for one round trip with the Innsbruck Pass, but if you don't have the pass, you can purchase tickets at the ticket office opposite the boarding station for €47 per adult. The panoramic snowy landscape, dazzling white mountains stretching endlessly, and the feeling of being above the clouds—looking down felt like floating on a cloud. It's a perfect photo spot where every shot looks like a masterpiece! At that moment, all the fatigue from traveling seemed to vanish. The wind was chilly, but the air was so fresh and crisp that I spent a long time just gazing at the scenery in a daze. After descending one level by cable car, I found a ski resort! Although I didn't ski, I heard that sledding was free to use, so I decided to give it a try right away.

On the second day, we started our wonderful journey in the morning light. Our first stop was a castle with a unique love story. This castle was actually a gift of love from 450 years ago. Ferdinand II was the favorite son of the king at the time. He fell in love with a commoner girl. They loved each other deeply. In the end, Ferdinand II violated his father's wishes and secretly married the girl. Ferdinand II rebuilt an ancient castle into what we see today, and then gave it to his beloved wife as a wedding gift as proof of his love. This is Ambras Castle. The most famous Spanish Hall in the castle is the hall where Ferdinand held banquets for his wife. There is also a collection room where he collected various armors and a museum full of curiosities. The castle is surrounded by a huge garden and has become a castle in the garden. After leaving Ambras Castle, we went to another landmark building in Innsbruck, the Olympic Ski Jump on Bergisel. It was also custom-made for Innsbruck by Zaha Hadid, the world's most popular female architect. You can quickly reach the Sky Restaurant and observation deck by taking two elevators. On the observation deck, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the breathtaking scenery of Innsbruck. From May to October this year, you can also watch ski jumping performances here.
