#2024TravelReview On the way from Munich to the Dolomites in Italy, we stopped at the beautiful mountain town of #Innsbruck in Austria. Since it is close to the Alps, you can take pictures of the majestic snow-capped mountains behind you from the city streets, so it is also a popular tourist attraction. The city of Innsbruck is not large, but it has a superior geographical location and the Alps as its unique backdrop, so it is quite photogenic. The Goldenes Dachl, the golden roof, and the Stadtturm, the town hall tower, located in the downtown area, are arguably the most famous buildings in Innsbruck. The cathedral and the Hofburg are also not to be missed. The Innsbruck Cathedral, Dom Zu St. Jakob, was originally a typical Gothic building, but it was rebuilt in Baroque style after a fire. The painting "Madonna and Child" on the main altar is very famous. Innsbruck also has a royal palace, but it is not as large. By the way, there are also two attractions outside the tourist service center, namely the Annasäule, which commemorates the eradication of the Black Death, and the Arc de Triomphe, which can be seen in many European cities. #SwissTravel #Alps #Innsbruck

Austrians love music, and the classical music of Vienna still influences many people to this day. Innsbruck is like the leaping notes on 'The Blue Danube' waltz, embedded in the musical score of the Alps . Innsbruck not only has millennia-old glaciers , clear yet profound lakes, but it is also home to the headquarters of the globally renowned crystal brand Swarovski. There are so many reasons to visit; you could be a hiking enthusiast, a diving enthusiast, or perhaps, just a lover of beauty, you should also make the trip. 👍Highly recommended: The Imperial Roof This was once the royal residence and is now the symbol of the entire city. The golden roof silently tells of past glories under the setting sun. The Triumphal Arch Different from the Arc de Triomphe in France, this Triumphal Arch was built by the former empress to celebrate the prince's grand wedding, and it is also a testament to love.

The girl's heart-studded Austria's most beautiful pink church, Jesuit Church , is not far from the St. Stephen's Cathedral, but the jesuit church is not far away, but this is what I want. On this trip, I saw the fairytale blue church and saw the pink church that was enough to break the girl's heart. How lucky it was. The pink reality inside the church and its ordinary appearance can't make a huge "contrast sprout". Who can think of a church with such a simple surface, which can hide such a pink ocean inside. This is a Catholic church, completely without tourists, very quiet. Recommend everyone with a girl's heart, you can come here to see. The church is located in the heart of Vienna, Austria, just a ten minute walk from St. Steve Cathedral.

After learning about Europe, I fell in love with the market. No matter which country, it seems that the market is very popular, there are all kinds of food and beauty. In Austria, we have time to visit this market. Let's not talk about the things that are sold in the market. The atmosphere is enough to make people fascinated. It seems that Europeans also love chestnuts, and there are many stalls selling chestnuts at the entrance to the Louvre. A table, standing to eat, standing and drinking mulled wine, this is the normal state of the ancient city of Innsbruck. There are many creative sculptures on the street, mostly in fairy tale style. There are also a lot of people who are entertaining, very interesting. Super nice Christmas grandfather, took me to take a photo, very cute. In addition to the usual market that is open on weekends, there will be a special Christmas market during Christmas, which sells mostly Christmas-themed items.
