The snow-topped mountains and tall colourful buildings of Innsbruck make it a postcard-worthy alpine destination. Perfect for those who love to hit the slopes, it has a number of well managed ski resorts and excellent winter sports facilities. Other sites on interest include Ambras Castle, the Folk Art Museum and the Court Church. There are some very trendy hip bars at the centre of a thriving night life. Serenity has its place too, with the gentle carriage rides and the luxurious therma spa.
