Innsbruck is both the political capital and the cultural core of the Tyrol – a dynamic university town at once stirred by student energy and entrenched in traditional conservatism. With 15 Alpine resorts on its doorstep and two Olympic Winter Games under its belt, it’s also the most athletically active city in the Alps. More than any other city, Innsbruck offers an ideal combination of city sightseeing and Alpine adventures.
Kitzbühel’s medieval old town seduces with a flourish of fairytale charm. Brightly painted façades front cobblestone alleys, elegant boutiques beckon, and ancient town walls give an air of seclusion. Cozy as it may be, however, it’s also a snobby, hobnobing sort of place where furs prove more fashionable than ski wear. Nonetheless, stock your wallet well and join the promenading crowd; you’ll soon discover the allure that makes Kitzbühel a place worth lingering.
