The Hapsburg Family was central to this town. This is the interior of the Imperial Palace.

I took a walking tour of the city. The tour guide, in traditional dress, was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Her family dates back centuries and owns of the Bell Foundry and Museum.

The mountains are so close that the entrance to the funicular going up the mountain is right beside the Imperial Palace.

A view of Innsbruck from the top of the funicular. You can just barely see the river Inn in the lower right.

Innsbruck is beautiful from many angles. This was taken from a bridge of the river Inn.

    Lovely pictures to bring back Innsbruck. We only stopped for a few hours.  The guide you had reminded me of a similar lady in costume with a lively and personal tour in Salzberg.

    The night life is certainly to be found but it is also extremely safe which makes it easy to recommend here.
