Day 6 – Interlaken to InnsbruckThis was the time left Switzerland to Austria.Again a beautiful journey and the main part was our Hotel was right in the Train Station . Innsbruck is a historic city in Tyrol Region.

A halt at the Innsbruck city is all you need between your long road trips -

Innsbruck: Too many hiking and trekking trails here. Though majority of Austria is in Alps, this city being in Tyrol state is nestled by Alps from all the directions. I spent good 5 days here as I wanted to explore the city in detail mainly the many amazing hiking trails. Here, I also got the chance to watch free orchestra performances as part of Innsbruck festival :’).

It's been quite a while I have visited Austria. My first destination in Austria was Innsbruck and I found that it was fundamentally the same as other European countries. However, it is more peaceful and furthermore less mankind. Be that as it may, as an Indian, this place spoke to me a considerable measure. The reason behind this is India is overcrowded, where people are busy in their own busy and fast life. A place like Mumbai, where individuals spend their half of the daytime traveling by local train just to reach their work location because road traveling tends to be impossible due to heavy traffic. While in Innsbruck is a standout amongst the most tranquil and quiet place. ..My intention is not to compare two different countries and people's lifestyle, the only reason I wrote this is just to describe my feelings. When I found this much peaceful place where less humanity, no traffic, pollution-less and long distance houses gave me immense feeling. So, if you are tired from your busy and dedicated life Innsbruck is best choice to spend your get-away. #innsbruck#austria #europe #BestTravelPictures

A three hour drive through some of the most scenic alpine roads in Tirol brings you to my favorite city in Austria - Innsbruck. This beautiful little town along the bank of Inn river is the shining jewel of Inn valley and a trip into its old town will convince you in no time why it is so. Boasting of beautiful architecture and a rich history to back it up, this charming town nestled at the base of towering alpine peaks is particularly impressive during winter months when the slopes open up for skiing. While exploring the old town, admiring the Goldenes Dachl and Imperial Palace, you will not realize how a day flew by.

Drive to Innsbruck the same day. Witness the Golden Roof, a characteristic landmark of Innsbruck; walk down cobblestone pathways of Maria Theresien Strasse and relive medieval European culture.Where to eat: Restaurant Bierwirt is a great place to sample local food and culturePro tip: Make sure you have cash on hand. Many commercial establishments still don't accept cards.Prepare for departure from Austria.

Day 6:A day trip to Innsbruck was next on our itinerary. We left at 7 AM from Salzburg and it was a 2-hour journey. Tickets were again booked online on OBB app. As soon as you exit from Innsbruck HBF, walk towards Old town crossing Maria-Theresien-Strasse and you will come across tourist information center called ‘Innsbruck information’. We bought Innsbruck card for 24 hours from here and inquired about to-dos. Maria-Theresien Strasse is the main shopping avenue of Innsbruck. It is lined with many restaurants, cafes, showrooms like that of Swarovski and pubs like Hard rock café. Part of the street near the old town is a very wide pedestrian-only walkway where you can leisurely stroll, shop or just sit and sip some wine or coffee. It has many old buildings and mighty snow capped mountains in backdrop!From info point we walked towards Innsbruck Congress, the starting point of Nordkettenbahnen. Tickets included in Innsbruck card. Now, the whole journey to the peak of mountain is basically divided into 3 parts:1) The 1st part by Funicular ride ends at Hungerburg with 2 halts in between, namely, Löwenhaus and Alpenzoo. Alpenzoo is alpine zoo famous among families with children. We skipped it. After reaching Hungerburg, a short walk across Hermann Buhl Square leads visitors to the cable car station. The location is very picturesque with wooden houses located amongst green meadows of the mountain.2) The 2nd part of the trip by cable car ends at Seegrube. There is a lovely restaurant here having sitting arrangement both inside and outside. It provides stunning views of valley below and the mountains around. While you are travelling in cable car, you can see many trekkers below, hiking all the way up to the summit.3) The 3rd part is again a cable car ride ending at Hafelekar. Enjoy the spectacular valley views on one side and totally deserted mountains without any sign of vegetation on another. You can still hike to Karwendel Nature Park and Bergsohne Innsbruck cross from here. But we just chose to spend some time here, relaxing amidst nature! This whole trip will take approx. 2.5-3 hours. Incase, you plan to trek or visit zoo then may be the entire day.
