THE CITY
Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrol and with a population of around 132.000 is one of the five largest cities in Austria. The city is surrounded by mountains and is therefore a popular winter and mountain sports destination. The cityscape is characterised by buildings from the imperial era and modern architecture, as well as the River Inn. One of the most famous landmarks is the "Goldenes Dachl", which can be found in the heart of the old town
The flag of Tyrol has two horizontal stripes, white and red. In the middle there is a white crest with a red eagle. Around its head there are six leaves arranged in a circle as a wreath. The flag of Tyrol was already in use in the early 19th century. The colours of the horizontal stripes, red and white, are derived from the coat of arms. The present coat of arms is also the old coat of arms of the province and was already in use by around 1280. It is only since 1567 that the eagle also wears a wreath over its head.
