Introduction
Strategically and beautifully situated on the Inn river, in the heart of the Alps, Innsbruck stands at a great European crossroads.
The 19th-century construction of the east-west railroad through the Arlberg valley, in combination with the city's historic
control of the north-south trade route through the Brenner Pass, placed it firmly on the trans-European map. Today, travelers
from across Europe pass this way, and Innsbruck, with its excellent tourist facilities, is well worth more than a brief stop
en route.
