The line between Zurich and Innsbruck (via Bludenz) is absolutely stunning. The train wends through a valley of peaks and rolling fields dotted with houses for the best part of 4 hours.
After dropping our kit at the hotel in Innsbruck we went to see the old town. Before we even got there, B saw someone in a US Marine Corps Band 'Crew' t-shirt, and a bit of Googling told us they were indeed in town. We picked up a €5 ticket for this evening!
The town of Innsbruck feels utterly surrounded by mountains and it is beautiful. Over dinner, we ate outside next to the river, overlooking pastel-coloured houses, all frame by jagged peaks. The old town is similarly beautiful, with quirky alleyway ways and wonderful architecture everywhere.
The Marine Corps Band was playing in the Inner Court Yard of the Hofburg (imperial palace). With only three rows of unticketed seating, we ended up standing for over two hours but the band, and the setting, were just superb.もっと詳しく
