About Tyrol
North Tyrol borders theGermanstate ofBavariato the north,Vorarlbergto the west, theSwisscantonGraubündento the south-west,Salzburgto the east.South Tyrolis in Italy, part ofTrentino-Alto Adige. Like its sister provinces ofBavariainGermanyandSalzburgerlandinAustria, Tyrol is the very definition of the Germanic Alpine stereotype. Full of romantic lakes and castles and beer-drinking lederhosen-clad locals playing oom-pa-pa music and marching in bands, the place can seem a bit of a fairy tale to the visitor at times.Innsbruckis the only real "bigger" city, with the rest a beautiful natural panorama. The roads get clogged with tourists in the summer and winter months.
