This golden roof is the symbol of the old town of Innsbruck. It’s not big but when the sun is shining it’s brilliant and very nice. With our Innsbruck card we could visit the museum and we saw this golden roof on the other side. To see the place and people below us was very impressive.

It's gold and it's a roof - that's about it. You can't miss it as it's on a main square in the old town. The cafe on the square is a nice place to stop for a drink though. Interesting fire hydrant that attracted a lot of photographers!

Visited this attraction while exploring the city of Innsbruck. It's a roof, covered in gold. A cool photo opportunity from the outside. We were able to go inside as part of the Innsbruck Card, but it's very small and not that interesting from our experience. I'd visit the roof for a photo, but skip the museum.

The golden roof so popular in Innsbruck was a spectacular sight during the day with gold plated slate like pieces that adorn the roof creating an attractive glow. This decorative roof made the building to stand out from the rest making it a landmark. It is unique in some sense.

We enjoyed a private tour of Old Town Innsbruck on our recent trip to Europe. We saw the golden roof plus many other sites there. We even got to go inside an old courtyard during our tour, to see how people lived and still live in the old city. Very interesting. Also places to shop nearby or have a glass of wine.

The glowing roof of this house is unmissable. But even though it is called the "Golden Roof", it is not made of gold but it is decorated with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles. It was created for Emperor Maximilian I to mark his wedding to Bianca Maria Sforza. There is also an exhibition inside this house dedicated to Emperor Maximilian I (admission €5.50). The facade of the house is decorated in sculpted reliefs. Frescoes that adorn the interior of the loggia show scenes from the aristocratic life of that time. But all of the decorations are replicas. The original reliefs are on permanent display in the Tyrolean State Museum.

We didn’t go into the small museum, rather admired the building from outside, and it’s quite nice. The roof is certainly distinctive and the building is nice as well, but you can see it and move on to the many other wonderful Altstadt buildings in five minutes. Nice to see, but nothing to write home about.

The golden roof is a house with a roof made with gold that commemorates the Marriage of Maximilian. It is a striking sight and on the inside there is a small museum that details its history. The interior is very beautiful with arched ceilings and lovely displays.
