I loved the little hotel we stayed in located along the river front in Old Town Innsbruck. Our view of the river and the mountains was beautiful. It was cloudy and rainy when we got there so we couldn't see the stars, but we heard that you usually can see them so clearly because you're all up high in the mountains.
In the morning, we walked around Old Town and saw the Golden Roof (considered the city's most famous symbol and if you look closely, you can see it in the far background behind Newel). Emperor Maximilian I and his wife would watch plays, festivals and other forms of entertainment held in the town square from the balcony. Trumpeters were playing a song on the balcony when we saw it. Our stay in Innsbruck was quiet and restful which worked out because it was also a Sunday so we didn't do much else other than walk through the town and see pretty sites here and there.
1) Our cute little hotel, Hotel Mondschein, and the views from our room.
2) The brightly colored buildings - I really thought the little city was quite beautiful.
3) The church bells ringing every 15 minutes - we weren't able to go to church that day, but I felt like the church bells helped me remember God and the holiness of the Sabbath.
