No visit is complete to the Tyrol without spending the day in Innsbruck and surroundings. From your hotel a short walk to the train which will take you straight down into the city. Make your way to the old town and walk around the quaint cobbled streets, admire the paintings on the buildings and see the famous golden roof built by Emperor Maximilian. Walk down to the River Inn which flows through the city and wonder at its green waters, maybe rent a cycle and bike a few miles down the River Inn cycleway.

Other options today, if your holiday is in the summer months, is maybe a run down the Olympic bobsleigh or a trip to the grass ski jump. The ski jump was used for the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympic Games, and then reconstructed and opened in 2002. Of course, you can still follow one of the many walks in the area
