The most favorable seasons for visiting the city are the spring and summer, yet the temperatures are quite cool. It is an ideal destination to relax and stay in touch with nature.<br />
Innsbruck is also a place where you can enjoy many activities. We recommend some of the most important tourist destinations of the city. Among them: the Golden Roof, the former imperial Hofburg Palace, Ambras Castle, the tower Ottoburg, Basilica Inglesia Wilten or the Court.</p>
<p>From any corner of this wonderful city you can appreciate the splendid grandeur of the Alps. With an extensive history, Innsbruck has survived the test of time and has won an atmosphere that blends the ancient architecture of the site with more modern buildings and areas. Its gastronomic offer is very wide from traditional food, international cuisine, fish, pastas, pizzas, etc. We also find many bars, pubs and cafes.</p>
