Kitzbuhel

Kitzbühel, a charming walled town, is a very popular tourist center both in summer and winter. It is the epitome of what one pictures when one thinks of the Tyrol—a colorful village whose painted buildings echo the past, charming little squares, inviting shops, walls surrounding the town, picturesque old gates, and mountains looming up from every view. Although this is a small town, there are a few sights to see such as the Pfarrkirche and the Liebfrauenkirche, two churches with lovely paintings to admire. But sightseeing is not the emphasis in Kitzbühel—instead, just relax and soak in the charm of the Tyrol. Try to linger here for several days: one day take the cable car up to the mountain peaks and meander for kilometers along well-marked paths through some of the loveliest scenery in Austria.
