visitors are attracted by the historical environment of the Old Town with the renowned Golden Roof as focal point. The Habsburg kings held court in Innsbruck and you will find many historic sights, the most important one being the Ambras castle with its good art collection. Everywhere around Innsbruck's heritage of two "golden ages" can still be found: the first around 1500 under the Emperor Maxmilan I, the second in the mid-1700's under Empress Maria Thérèsia.

This house was built in the late XV century.The facade reliefs are made by the workshop of Gregor Tuering and represent musicians, stage artists and various types of tournaments. The reliefs are here to remind us that, once upon the time , the old city square was hosting Knights tournaments and battles.
In the ground floor is located a exquisite coffee , probably the most frequented place in the old town. If time permits it , go for it! Make sure to visit the toilets as well, they are worth it - huge mirror glass in baroque frame and other cool stuff,same as the look through the window and the furniture in the upper floor.

The Landhaus is the palace of the region and is reunited with the beautiful Palais Fugger-Taxis. The building was built by G.A.Gumpp between 1679 and 1690. The facade has allegorical plasters made by F.Serena in 1728. You can visit some rooms of the palace among which the staircase of honor and the room of the regional council with frescos of C.D.Asam.

Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse

Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse is one the most beautiful roads of the Altstadt (old town) of Innsbruck. It crosses the whole historical center and it is flanked with beautiful buildings with porticos, houses with the decorated loggiatis and with beautiful insignias in beaten iron. Very interesting is the Gasthof weisses Kreuz, a house of the fifteenth century where Mozart lived.

On the left of Herzog-Friedrich-Straße there is the interesting Gasthof Goldener Adler (golden eagle) with a beautiful painted facade: it is held to be the most ancient inn in Austria. In front of the Gasthof you can see the Altes Regierungsgebaude. It is the ancient building of the government which was built in the fifteenth century and modified in 1689 by J.M.Gumpp.

Pfarrgasse is the short street that connects Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse with the cathedral square. Along the street you can see interesting medieval buildings like the Prechthaus with beautiful reliefs or the Ettlhaus built in 1500 with a Neo-Gothic facade.
