Our home away from home is Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, located in the Alpine region of Austria. The city has 140,000 inhabitants and hosts one of the oldest universities in Europe, founded in the year 1562. Innsbruck is a superb destination, situated in an ideal location. It is best known for its rich cultural heritage and is only a stone’s throw away from Italy and Germany. This splendid city has been the host destination of the Olympic Winter Games twice, in 1964 and in 1976. In Innsbruck, some 160 restaurants, cafés and bars, most of them in walking distance to the old town, offer traditional Tyrolean and Austrian specialties as well as international dishes. While in the area, we will visit the world-famous Oktoberfest to experience tradition, culture and raise your beer stein to toast “Prost!”
