A day in … Innsbruck, Austria | Travel | The Guardian

Innsbruck, in the shadow of the Alps, has enough sights and cafe stopoffs for a great day out The capital of the Austrian state of Tirol neatly combines an impressive mountain setting with a storied and historic past. Stroll through the city's old town and you'll feel like you've gatecrashed the set of a medieval movie; look up, and you're surrounded by the peaks of the Nordkette mountains.
