Innsbruck

Austria / Tirol / Innsbruck /
Innsbruck is a city in western Austria, and the capital of the federal state of Tyrol. It is located in the Inn valley at the junction with the Wipptal (Sill River) which provides access to the Brennerpass, just about 30 km south of Innsbruck. Located in the broad valley between tall mountains, the Nordkette (Hafelekar, 2334m) in the north, Patscherkofel (2246 m) and Serles (2717 m) in the south, it is an internationally renowned winter sports centre.
Tourists know it for its Golden Roof. The airport is 'interesting' to fly into and out of because of the mountains.
Douglas Adams claimed, he got his idea for the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy during a visit to Innsbruck in 1971, lying in a field looking up at the stars.
'God's Own Country' is one among the best three destinations in the world, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).
