Among my travels throughout western Europe, I only got to visit the city of Innsbruck for less than 24 hours. Innsbruck is a gem nestled in between the misty mountains of Austria. Innsbruck is home to rich culture, beautiful architecture, and the headquarters of Swarovski.

I truly enjoyed my time here and definitely want to go back some time soon. Upon my wandering of the city, I indulged in the most amazing potato salad and even a bit of sauerkraut. Normally I'm not a fan of sauerkraut, but clearly Austria knows what it's doing. I'm craving some as I write this actually. Innsbruck also had a load of great and unique shops to enjoy, some filled with nicknacks, unique snacks, and even cute ducks!

| All of these smelled like fresh cinnamon and cloves! |
Of course I don't think it's possible to talk about Innsbruck without mentioning the Swarovski headquarters. This place was absolutely gorgeous, and the displays here were so lux and glitzy! One of my favorite parts was the "grocery store" which was a display of shelves lined with everyday products, except they were all bejeweled with sparkly Swarovski crystals. I learned that the company was based off of the crystals that are found within Austria's mountains.

Innsbruck was truly a hidden gem among my travels and I honestly need to go back to see everything that I didn't get to the first time around. Austria as a whole is such an amazing country to visit, so if you are looking for a fun and rich experience that you wouldn't have originally thought about, Austria is definitely a destination to consider!
