"Innsbruck - lovely city in the Apls" Innsbruck by PetraG

Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrolia, one of the 9 parts of Austria, and is situated in western Austria - in the middle of the Alps. You'll see snow covered mountains everywhere, even if your in the city center...

Innsbruck - houses

The city center is full of lovely houses. I just adore this archutecture there! Every building is something special and looks different to all the others. You'll never find two houses looking the same!

The narrow streets of the city center are perfect for shopping. You'll find there thousands of shops and boutiques - more or less expensive.
Shopping in this ancient surrounding and buildings is something really special.
One very special shop is the SWAROWSKI glass design. The jewelery and other thing made of glass are produced in a town called Wattens, near Innsbruck. In a special trip you can visit the factory and here, in the city center of Innsbruck, youo can buy these beautiful things (that are famous in the whole world).

• Pros:breath-taking surrounding, lovely architechture
• Cons:can be very crowded in winter
• In a nutshell:a great place to visit - in winter as well as in summer
