Description of a Place

The best place that I have every visited was Innsbruck in the south of Austria. It is a city situated in the mountains in a region called Tyrol, which has a history of trying to separate. It has a large alpine zoo in the mountains which is reachable by walking up a trail or using the railcar. The zoo has a large variety of animals which can be found in the region, such as the great eagle and the groundhog.

Honestly, most likely because it is smack in the middle of Germany and Italy, it is the best city where I have ever eaten. One has the advantage of eating top quality steaks and fresh bread or trying fresh pasta, Käsespätzle being the typical dish of the region. Austria is not only famous for its coffee but its desserts are at a level that no other country can match. The assortment of Strudels, a backed pastry made with an egg dough filled with fruits (normally apples), is incredible and you can’t leave with out checking out the Sachertorte, a double chocolate cake with an rum/apricot marmalade in the middle.

The city has a lot of history and therefore it is easy to make your way around the museums and the sights. Probably the most incredible thing I saw was a light and sound history on King Maximilian in the historical church in the center.
