Monday Aug. 28 Innsbruck Tourists

I bought a 48 hour Tour Innsbruck Card which was basically a challenge to see how much of the city I could tour and visit "for free!" This city photo was taken from the old City Tower after climbing 145 steps around and around up to the lookout on top. The ski jump is visible in the distance.

Their Alpine Zoo is the highest zoo in the world and was set in very natural and seemingly humane conditions. The animals were at very close viewing range and it was fun! It rained again but that made walking cooler.

Later in the afternoon, we took the tour bus to the Olympic Ski Jump area and walked the 455 steps up to (and then back down from) the restaurant at the top. The views were 360 degrees and covered the entire valley. The Inn River runs thru the valley, as it also does in Imst.
