This private day trip from Salzburg takes you to Innsbruck, the capital of the Alps, where the old town sits right in front of a mountain wall. On the way you see the Inn Valley, with an optional stop in Rattenberg or at Swarovski Crystal Worlds.
The drive leads through the corner of Bavaria or the Tyrolean lowlands into the Inn Valley. Your guide shares stories of borders, the salt trade and the mining that once made the region rich.
In Innsbruck you explore the old town on foot, with the Golden Roof, the City Tower and Maria-Theresien-Strasse, plus the Court Church with Emperor Maximilian's bronze Black Men. There is time for lunch and Tyrolean specialties.
In the afternoon you can ride the Hungerburg funicular for a panorama above the city or visit the Bergisel ski jump. On the way back, a stop in the glass town of Rattenberg or in Wattens is possible. Your guide plans the day around your wishes.
