    Innsbruck's Old Town is a reminder of the way the medieval town once flourished with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings.
    An important point of the Old Town is the broad strip of Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse, which eventually opens out into a central plaza lined with arcades.

    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.

    We arrived at Innsbruck early afternoon,about four o'clock,and then we started a nice walked tour in the old town and other parts of the city with a local guide.Our first stop was here,at Triumphal Arch,that is located at end of Maria Theresienstrasse.

    This beautiful arch was built by Emprees Maria Theresien for commemorate the marriage of her son,Leopold II with Maria Ludovica from Spain.

    My first impression of the city was very good,because Innsbruck has some beautiful landscapes of old town with the nice Alps mountains behind,as you can see on my picture,you'll find lots of snow at top of the mountains.

    The beautiful Cathedral of Innsbruk is called St. James (St. Jakob) and it was rebuilt between 1.717 and 1724. it is on Ghotic style and is another very interesting place to visit in the city.This picture was taken from my hotel's window,is not a very good one because it was late afternoon and it is a little bit dark,but I had a great view of the city from my window,whit this beautiful cathedral just in front!.

    next to the famous Helblinghaus you may see a lot of other nice buildings with beautifully decorated traditional facades. You will hardly find anything about them in any of the guidebokks about Innsbruck, and still I think they are really worth a second look.

    The Hofgasse is the street that connects the Goldenes Dachl to the Rennweg. Along this street you can see the Deutschordenshaus (House of the Teutonic order) built in 1533. Another nice building is the Riesenhaus with Late-Gothic decorations.

    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.
