Inn in Innsbruck

Travel was once again on the menu, travelling back to the main line in Freilassing, and then on a second train over to Salzburg. From Salzburg, we boarded a train that went west (back into Germany) before heading down to Innsbruck.

Train travel is interesting as the views can be great or non-existent. It’s relaxing (Jen often falls asleep), but strangely tiring.

Getting to Innsbruck we walked to Hotel Goldene Krone, waiting a few minutes for check in. After unpacking a bit, we headed to the Tourist Information Centre to buy our Innsbruck Card, which offers admission to nearly everything as well as transit, etc. during our stay. A great deal.

After, we wandered Maria-Theresien Straße, a wide pedestrian only shopping and dining section of the old town. We went to the Inn River, found some pizza, and a grocery store for local cherries and ice cream bars. Jen had Pistachio, and it was amazing, but Dave believes his chocolate almond was superior.

Tummies full, and a bit sick of the heat, we retreated to our hotel for cold showers and preparations for our three days here.
