Tyrol’s capital is a chameleon-like city: a place where you can spend the morning roaming medieval lanes and Habsburg palaces, and the afternoon ogling Zaha Hadid’s spacey creations and sipping sundowners in riverside lounge bars. With its low-slung skyline, quietly confident air and the towering Alps as a backdrop, Innsbruck successfully blends past and present, urban and natural. Despite its prosperity and world-class museums, the city remains refreshingly unpretentious and friendly. It is a perfect place for a holiday and is often the starting point for skiing vacations.
