Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol boasts a stunning setting, surrounded by mountain scenery. Explore the city or to learn more about Innsbruck, and to take in even more of the splendid sights, join our optional guided walking tour. This will give us greater insight into Innsbruck’s history, and will allow us to tour more of the city. For instance, we can see sights such as the Rococo-style Helblinghaus and, opposite it, the iconic Goldenes Dachl, which many see as Innsbruck’s symbol. This building features thousands of fire-gilded copper tiles that account for its name, which can be translated as ‘Golden Roof’. It was built for Emperor Maximilian I when he married Bianca Maria Sforza in 1500.
