Day 5 ~ From emperors to ski jumpers in Innsbruck 
You’ll say goodbye to Switzerland today as we head across the Alps into Austria. Arrive at Innsbruck – the 15th-century capital of Emperor Maximilian’s Habsburg Empire, and more recently the host of two Winter Olympic Games in the 20th century. Join your local guide for a walking tour of this idyllic alpine city, during which you just might “meet” old Emperor Max and his wives.
