But <strong>Innsbruck<\/strong> is also a marvellous cultural and artistic town.<\/p>\n<p>The capital city of this region is one of the most important tourist destinations of the country. Here you can ski almost all year round &#8211; in summer over the <strong>Stubai<\/strong> and <strong>Schlick<\/strong> Glaciers &#8211; and you can practice all disciplines, from cross-country skiing to snowboarding, from freestyle to off-piste, from dog sledding to ice skating, from downhill skiing at high altitude to sledding and bobsleigh.<\/p>\n<p>The snow is guaranteed also at intermediate altitudes thanks to artificial snow. The mountains around <strong>Innsbruck<\/strong> in the summer are transformed into spaces where to enjoy wonderful hiking, trekking, mountain bike rides or for sunbathing along the Inn River.<\/p>\n<p>But this Austrian city is not only a ski resort, as it is even a place of culture and social life. There are many attractions and places of architectural interest which worth a visit. Like the famous <strong>Goldenes Dachl<\/strong>, the Golden Roof, a balcony of a residential palace of Maximilian made of gilt copper and decorated with frescoes. <strong>Ambras Castle<\/strong>, now a museum of history of art, with works by Titian, Velazquez and Van Dyck, or the <strong>Hofburg Imperial Palace<\/strong> and the nearby Hofgarten park.<\/p>\n<p>All the old town is a must, with buildings from the late Middle Ages: in the <strong>Altstadt<\/strong>, the ancient city, an area closed to traffic, the evening is filled with young people and tourists who crowd restaurants and clubs on <strong>Herzog Friedrich Strasse<\/strong>. Another very busy area in the evening for the presence of bars, restaurants and nightclubs is called <strong>Viaduct<\/strong> (B\u00f6gen) with some popular places such as the Plateau, the Babalon or the Down Under.<\/p>\n<p>Innsbruck has also a <strong>casino<\/strong>, close to the Hilton Hotel. For families with children not to be missed is the <strong>Alpenzoo<\/strong>, a zoo with alpine animal species, but also fish, reptiles and birds. It is open all year and houses over 2,000 animals of 150 species.<\/p>\n<p>Photo of Innsbruck by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jamescridland\/424142774\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">James Cridland<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are as many as 280 kilometers of trails and nearly a hundred lifts at the Olympia SkiWorld, the ski resort in the Austrian Tyrol which includes eight smaller districts among which that of Innsbruck.
