Winter holidays are for each one of us a reason of happiness and celebration, together with the persons we love. It seems that each one of us likes to be caressed and to caress the others around, too. Joy is bigger the moment we offer presents to our dear persons, more than when we are given something. And it is during the winter season when everybody wants to be child again, not only because of the presents we receive, but also because of the richness of snow, traditional food or Christmas carols.

But this introduction only helps to present in continuation one of the most beautiful winter European fairy-tales, but not only. It is all about the dream with the eyes opened, in one of the medieval towns in Tirol, which reminds us about the fairy-tales of Hansel and Gr etel or about Heidi.

Innsbruck, the capital of Tirol, can be, undoubtedly, a romantic fairy-tale, when it comes to celebrations, both for children and for adults. It is also a place where tourists can find a lot of movement and fun, being two times the host of the winter Olympics, and having many provocative skiing areas. The capital is the medieval heart of a region which inspires tourism and lives from tourism, being blessed by the majestic presence of the Alps.

In Innsbruck the coming of Christmas is made present from November, when shops, hotels, restaurants, houses, the streets of the ancient town are dressed in green, golden, red, globes, tinsel, cookies and smiling faces. And four weeks before Christmas begins the craziness of shopping, in an atmosphere of dream. The streets and the medieval markets of the old town are crowded by market stalls or bazaars, scenes from the bible and also the impressive Christmas tree.

The specific of this town is given by its medieval aspect, a crowding of high narrow medieval houses, packed one into another. Many of these buildings with historical perfume have pictures in pastel, mythological scenes and aspects of daily life of its people between the years 1400-1700. Herzog-Friedrich is the street where the tourist can find many traditional objects and buy different presents in the shops on this little street. Moreover, if one is attracted by historical monuments, then he has to see Goldenes Dachl, one of the historical buildings in the city, with a gothic style in its architecture.

Therefore, if you want to spend some unique moments in a medieval spirit, then don't hesitate in visiting Innsbruck and its marvelous treasures.
