Loved the location of The Golden Roof! Right in the square where, if you'r lucky, there may be a market going on where there'll be a ton of little kiosks set up. More

I know it's the most famous site in all of Innsbruck but I couldn't see what the fuss is about really. It's a roof over a balcony. The woodwork is quite good though.

There are so many beautiful & interesting buildings in the area & this one stands out for the bright rooftop & the crowd congregated underneath. The plaque explaining the history was interesting. Leave enough time to walk around the streets and absorb the history & culture of the area. Lots of great shops & cafes about. More

While I read about the historical significance of this site, it really was not very interesting compared to all of the other wonderful sites. It is worth going in if you have the Innsbruck city pass and The Golden Roof is located in amongst the heart of things so you will get to see it. More

A nice place to see, while you are in this part of the old town. Take a picture of the place what someone did to show he was wealthy. The museum is nice but nothing special. More
