Road Trip: Innsbruck, AT

After our time in Salzburg, we ventured onto another city: Innsbruck, Austria.  Innsbruck, home to the Winter Olympic games in 1964 and 1976, is a colorful city with a panoramic view of the mountains.  In the morning, you could be at your day job, and at 5:30, you could be on your skis at the top of the mountain.  We enjoyed our day and overnight stay in this city.

Goldenes Dachl/ The Golden Roof~ Emperor Maximilian I gave this to his wife as a gift to commemorate their marriage.  1500 AD  They would sit in the balcony and watch festivals in the square below

We visited the Alpenzoo by taking a funicular up the mountain.  The zoo is built on the side of the mountain.

 
Austrian pride!
