Only 30-40 minutes from Seefeld, you can easily enjoy a day soaking up the culture in Innsbruck.
Visit the medieval old town - famous for the Golden Roof - or the Ambras Castle, which was the first museum in the world and opened over 450 years ago. Innsbruck hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, and you can visit the ski jump and enjoy the stunning view from the top. The best views of the city can be seen from the top of Nordkette, 1,700 metres above the city, accessed by the architecturally renowned Hungerbergbahn and then the Hafelekar cable car, or take a trip to the top of the Olympic ski jump on the south side of the city.
For art and culture lovers, the Hofkirche offers an unexpected mix between church and medieval art museum, and is home to the cenotaph of the Emperor Maximillian the First. Just outside the city, in Wattens, Swarovski Crystal World is a must-see for lovers of sparkles, with interesting exhibits, beautiful gardens and play zones for children.
The capital city of the Tyrol region has as much for the younger generation as it does for adults. The Audioversum is a science centre where you can take an interactive journey through the human senses. Or, head to Tirol Magic Land, just outside the city, where there’s the famous “upside-down-house” and Dinoland, plus playgrounds to run off excess energy.
