Innsbruck literally means “bridge over the Inn”. As its name suggests, a river which emanates in the Swiss Alps crosses through this well-known city in Tyrol. The city is surrounded by the Karwendel mountains in the north and the Patscherkofel in the south. With 130,000 inhabitants, Innsbruck is the fifth biggest city in Austria.
