Surrounded by dramatic mountain
landscapes and picturesque villages,
Innsbruck has been the site of two

reflect the city’s medieval past. During

browse and shop as well as look for
exquisite pieces of Austrian Crystal.
Sightseeing includes the Court Church,
one of the most impressive monuments
in Europe. This structure houses the
empty tomb of Maximilian I. We also
see the Goldenes Dachl (“Golden
Roof”), an ornate stone balcony covered
by gilded copper tiles, built in the
15th century. In later days, it was
used by royalty to watch events in
the square below. We return to our
