Metroji clue #48

Innsbruck in five emoji

Austria

An alpine city where the mountains start at the end of the street rather than somewhere outside town. The name says exactly what it is.

What each emoji refers to

The Winter Olympics were held here twice, in 1964 and 1976, the second time because Denver pulled out.
The Golden Roof is a balcony rather than a building, covered in 2,657 gilded copper tiles for Maximilian I.
The Nordkette cable car leaves from the centre of town and reaches the ski runs in about twenty minutes.
The Karwendel range rises about two thousand metres directly behind the old town.
Innsbruck means bridge over the Inn, and the crossing is the reason there is a town here at all.
