PERFECT INNSBRUCK<br />
The relaxed interior<br />
of Restaurant Sitzwohl<br />
1. The restaurant<br />
Amid the palatial banks of the city<br />
center, an old school-turned-restaurant<br />
offers a master class in Tirolean cuisine.<br />
Sitzwohl’s owners, Elisabeth Geisler and<br />
Irmgard Sitzwohl, also bring into play<br />
Mediterranean influences, as can be<br />
seen from their Oktopusgröstl – classic<br />
Tiroler gröstl (pork-and-potato hash)<br />
topped with octopus. Geisler calls their<br />
style of cooking a marriage of simplicity<br />
and good produce. The adjoining<br />
Geislerei deli sells Sitzwohl’s own<br />
chutneys, jams and soups.<br />
Stadtforum.<br />

2. Architectural highs<br />
Innsbruck’s take on the subway is a<br />
cable car. The ultramodern Hungerburg<br />
funicular climbs from the old town via<br />
the Alpine Zoo to Mount Hungerburg<br />
through futuristic glass stations<br />
designed by Zaha Hadid, the architect<br />
behind the recently revamped Bergisel<br />
Ski Jump. Originally built in 1928, the<br />
90-meter landmark immortalized in<br />
the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics was<br />
crowned with a viewing platform and<br />
panoramic café when it was remodeled<br />
10 years ago. $7 round-trip.<br />
