We will start at the Innsbruck Information Center along to the Burggraben, a historic street at the entrance to the old town. We will explore the Gothic city center and admire the impressive Golden Roof, Innsbruck’s greatest tourist attraction and certainly its most characteristic landmark. The Golden Roof is a three-story balcony located in the central square, the heart of the Old Town. It’s time to see another gem: the Imperial Palace, completed in the year 1500 under Emperor Maximilian I. The palace served as a model and was painted as a watercolor by Albrecht Durer.
