"We had stayed at this lovely old hotel in Innsbruck many years ago and it used then to have a very nice restaurant serving Tyrolean fare but Covid appears to have put paid to all that, unfortunately. We were welcomed by a young lady in a traditional-style pink silk dress and a charming smile. The room looked out onto the Canisianum where I had stayed for five years in the 1980s whilst studying theology with the Jesuits and obtaining my master’s degree. The buffet breakfast was excellent and gave us the energy for a long walk around town and back along the Inn river offering us several opportunities to take photos. For us, travelling by train, the location is perfectly situated being no more than a ten-minute walk from the railway station with good connections to South Tyrol. We enjoyed walking through the old town at night taking several photos of the tastefully illuminated monuments. All in all, a memorable, and, for me, emotional visit to a beautiful place, that used to be my home."
