Tyrolean Coat of Arms of Innsbruck

You feel like bursting into a song of "The Song of Music" when you were up in the Austrian alpine. Here, music filled the air.

There was a lot history of former great European empire in Innsbruck.

For me, it was just a short overnight stop in Innsbruck.

Insbruck is an Olympic city as the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympic Games have been held here.

I've not been to Austria so for me it was a nice, compact introduction. It's exciting that you collect postcard and coins.

Innsbruck looks very nice, SL! Vienna was stunning, especially in the snow. I'd highly recommend a visit there!
