Le meilleur du Tyrol

Tirol's Absolute Essentials

This collection highlights the architectural and natural landmarks of Tirol, centered on Innsbruck’s imperial history and the Alpine majesty of the Grossglockner. Key sites include the 15th-century Golden Roof, the Rococo-style Helbling House, and the Gothic Hofkirche, which contains the monumental tomb of Emperor Maximilian I. The list also features the Renaissance Ambras Castle and the Baroque Altes Landhaus. Beyond the city, the Grossglockner represents Austria's highest point at 3,798 metres, offering a stark contrast to the historic streets of the Altstadt.
