The Golden Roof and Imperial Innsbruck: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

1 to 2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Innsbruck has been a gateway between northern Europe and Italy for over 2,000 years. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll explore its beautifully preserved Old Town, from opulent Habsburg palaces to charming medieval alleyways, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the Karwendel mountain range.

You’ll weave past the ornate Court Church with its remarkable “black figures,” and into the heart of the Old Town. Along the way, you’ll discover how Innsbruck developed from a simple bridge over the Inn River into the cultural and political centre of the Tyrol region.

You’ll make your way to the Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl) with its 2,657 fire-gilded copper shingles, commissioned by Emperor Maximilian I as a royal box to watch city festivities. As you walk, you’ll see historic restaurants dating back to the 14th century, colourful merchant houses with ornate facades, and the impressive City Tower offering panoramic views.
