Top 10 attractions in Innsbruck
Golden Roof
Golden Roofis a landmark in the Old Town of Innsbruck, Austria, and a calling card for this city in the Alps. It is actually a two-story late Gothic oriel balcony added to the facade of the old New Palace building: in the early 15th century, Duke Frederick IV, nicknamed "Empty Pocket," moved the center of power in Tyrol to Innsbruck and built his residence there. In the late 15th century, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I commissioned court architect Niklas Türing to build the oriel balcony to commemorate his marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza of Milan, and it was completed in 1500. The roof is covered with over 2,000 gilded copper tiles, which shimmer in the sun on clear days, and the underside of the balcony features a magnificent Gothic net vault.Innsbruck · 1.1 km from downtown
Altstadt von Innsbruck

The streets here are smooth, varying in width, and feature many curves. There isn't much urban planning, but the entire old town is a sight to behold, representing a clever blend of culture and nature. The main street is Maria-Theresien-Straße, where you can admire landmarks and symbols of Innsbruck, such as the St. Anna Column and the Golden Roof.

It is a very old and prosperous shopping pedestrian street in Innsbruck. Via Maria Theresia is paved with small stones and has a retro flavor. The street is not long and can be completed in 10 minutes, but the design of every building, street light and even road signs here is very ingenious. The end of the street is connected to Calvindel Mountain, and you can see the distance when you walk on the street. The beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains is a place worth slowing down and savoring carefully. You can start your medieval journey from its starting point, the Arc de Triomphe. The two sides of the magnificent Arc de Triomphe are carved with joy and sorrow, which is very intriguing. Continue on and you'll find the streets are lined with fine shops, from high street fashion brands to craft shops, cafes and restaurants. At the end of the street is the golden roof, which is covered with 2657 copper plates and dazzling in the sun. In addition to shopping, visiting museums, and admiring buildings, Maria Theresia Street is also a place full of activities. The performances of street performers, pigeons walking leisurely, and people chatting and laughing in roadside cafes are all beautiful scenery. A place to sit, enjoy the bright sunshine, the leisurely life of the locals, watch the Calvindel Mountain at the end of the street change into a gradient of blue, and feel the unique charm of the old town of Innsbruck.Innsbruck · 1.4 km from downtown

This palace complex was built in the 1460s by the emperor and grand duke of the time, but some of the later decoration and beautification projects were carried out by Queen Theresa, so the palace is very beautiful today.
