I'm ALMOST done blogging about our trip last month...promise! After we left Munich, we headed down to Innsbruck, Austria for three days. The winter Olympic games were held here in both 1964 and 1976 and after seeing the Alps here, we know why! We had a lot of fun at the markets (I told you we bought a lot of Christmas decorations!) and it might be possible there are more famous Christmas markets in this world, but no other Christmas market has more fascinating scenery. The medieval old town of Innsbruck offers a Christmas experience in Alpine style with long tradition. We took it really easy here and just did a lot of walking and we also went to the zoo (sooo much fun)- definitely a place I'd love to visit again.
Feeding the goats at the zoo- this guy was a pig and ate all of corn before giving the others a chance!
Our beautiful hotel- the architecture in Innsbruck is absolutely stunning.
The fake Alps in the Christmas market with the real Alps behind it.

The famous Golden Roof- the most important symbol of the city. Archdruke Friedrich IV built the roof for his emperor Maximilian I. As we know today, the emperor was very delighted about his gift. Maximilian enjoyed to sit in luxury under his golden roof, and view the lively activity under the square below.
I thought this nativity scene was just awesome
