INNSBRUCK: Its mountains & crystals. Innsbruck does not have Vienna's elegance, what it has is charm. The delicate designs of its painted houses are something one'll appreciate long after visiting the city.
HOFBURG (the Imperial Palace) State Apartments & visit its TREASURY: where Franz-Joseph I and Empress Elizabeth (the very beautiful and noble Sissi) once resided. A visit to the Treasury (at least 3 hours are required in order to see most of the display) leave a lasting impression. The insignia of the Holy Roman Empire and the 8th-century Holy Lance, Scepter of Austria are all kept here. An eye-opener for me!
Visit SCHONBRUNN PALACE, the former summer residence of the Habsburgs. The palace was built by Austrian architect J. B. Fischer von Erlach modelling after Versailles. The palace contain 1441 rooms. This delightful palace is one of Habsburgs' favorites and the Apartments of Franz-Joseph and Sissi are opened to the public for viewing. The Porcelain Salon and the Vieux-Lacque-Zimmer where rooms were filled with Chinese prints, porcelain and exotic screens are particularly interesting.
VIENNA: Palaces, churches & museums are one of the best in Europe & the world. This is the place where I learned to appreciate Europe. Not France, but Austria. Just my personal experience. I spent about 5 days in Vienna but have one of the best memories of my life. There are so much to discover & delight in! I'll definitely be back in the near future!
Really nice little town!!!I recommend it especially in the end of May - beginning of June for sport interested persons...At that time theres a little competition for decathlon and pentathlon. The best competition in Austria!!!Theres so warm atmosphere
Ellmau is my favourite tyrolean village, situated between the Wilder Kaiser, with its jagged dolomite -like peaks, and Hartkaiser mountain ranges. There is an extensive network of hikingh trails on both sides of Ellmau. The Wilder Kaiser is rugged and is hard walking but rewarding scenery - no cable-car here!On the Hartkaiser side you have a funicular in Ellmau and Gondolas at Going And Scheffau (villages either side of Ellmau) which make for great circular hikes. More info on my Ellmau page.
The Hohensalzburg museum has alot of interesting Medieval items!! Suits of armour, guns, swords, chastity belts!! (lots of weird types) and lots of other cool stuff! Well worth a visit!! As a kid I always wanted to own a suit of armour so i found this museum very interesting!!
This is a picture of me in some Castle. I don't remember the name of it!! I loved the castles of Europe!! As it was my first trip out of the US! I had never seen Castles before!! Only in story books!!
The Hohensalzburg Castle is very beautiful as it stands prominently at the top of a hill over looking Salzburg!! It is a nice walk to get up to it and you get wonderful views of the city!! There is a nice museum housed in the castle also.
There is a little roadside stop called the Zirlerberg Rast coming down the hill to Innsbruck from Mittenwald Germany that you should stop at. It offers a great view of the valley and has some great food. There are numerous pictures of road races that have taken place over the years up the mountain road. Take a stop here and have a look around.
