This great baroque church is, as all baroque churces, decorated from floor to ceiling. Lots of paintings in bright colours and gold ornaments everywhere. Try to go to a service here or to a concert. The acoustics are wonderful! More

This is set a little back from the hustle of the main streets of the Altstadt on a picturesque small square. The Dom is so big I couldn't capture all of it in one photo frame.. It has a lovely, peaceful atmosphere & well worth looking at if you are already in the Altstadt area. More

We wandered into this by accident. Go on purpose. It is a beautiful cathedral, open to the public, in the heart of Old Innsbruck. Look at a map, or watch for signs... definitely worth it! More

We were not expecting to see such a beautiful nave and altar as we saw here. Innsbruck is not Vienna. There is a wide square in front taht gives you a good picture. Take time to enjoy what you are seeing More
