About this experience
While my tours i want to show you the hotspots of the capital town of tyrol. Innsbruck is located between the alps and really worth to see. In this town we have a long history of the habsburg family, also 3x Olympic games, the famous battles of the Bergisel and more. On the other side we have the friendly people, good food and drinks, less polution and a lot of nice spots to spend some hours.
The most time we walk, only the longer day trips we need bus or the funicular train to the Hungerburg.
It will be also possible to change tours for your own wish, tell me if there is something special you want to know more about.
