    The Stadtturm is right next to Goldenes Dachl, and they are both in the Old Town like many of the other attractions in the city. It's quite easy to recognize the tower and you can easily see it from the surrounding areas.

    It was built in 1442-50, and was one of the most unique town hall towers at that time (and probably still is). The roofs were originally pointed, but in 1560 they were replaced with rounded roofs instead. It was used by watchmen who were looking for enemies, fires or other dangers.

    You can go inside the building and climb to the top. From here you have a excellent view of the Old Town, especially Goldenes Dachl, and the rest of the city with the mountains around.

    The Stadtturm / City-tower of Innsbruck dates back to the year 1560 and was built in Renaissance-style.
    The Stadtturm is beautifully lighted at night and during the day you may climb up the tower in order to have a perfect panorama-view over Innsbruck and the surroundings mountains and most tourists also climb up the 150 steps simply in order to see the "Golden roof" from above.
    The stairs leading up the Stadtturm / City-tower
    are open daily 10.00a.m. - 05.00p.m.in summer 10.00a.m. - 08.00p.m.,

    A good idea if you are walking by Innsbruck's Old Town,is go to see this beautiful medieval tower.It is called "The City Tower"(Stadtturm) and I think that is the highest tower in all the city.

    Don't hesitate to go up to the belltower by an interior and steep stairs,I didn't had the time and the chance to go up there,but some members of my group did it and they told me that there is a beautiful view of a big part of the old town,and also of some of best places and monuments of the city.It is located just next to The Golden Roof.

    The Altes Rathaus is the ancient town hall built in 1358. To its side you can see the Stadtturm, the civic tower, built among 1442 and 1450; it was restructured in Renaissance style in 1560 while the bulb dome and the clock were put in 1603.

    For another great view of the city you can take the 148 steps up the Stadtturm (City Tower). This might seem a crazy thing to do on a hot day, but in actual fact the tower itself is so cool inside you'll be happier walking up the dozen or so flights of stairs than standing outside doing nothing. The views from the top are excellent, and give you a real idea of the city's layout; so a good first stop after you arrive. The viewing platform at the top is a little cramped, however, and you have to keep pushing the flags out of your face, especially if it is a little windy.

    The tower was built in 1440, but the bulbous onion shaped cupola on the top was added in the 16th century.

    The tower costs 2.50 and is open from 10:00 until 20:00 in the summer, and until 17:00 in the winter.

    The Stadtturm, or city watchtower, from the top you can see views of the mountains. Of course you can! After all, they're all around the city.
    Built around the 1440's it also gives fine views over the old town or Aldstadt, especially of the gold balcony shown elsewhere.

    The City Tower was built between 1442 and 1450. Once it was a prison. Once you're on the top of this tower you'll enjoy a wonderful landscape over the city center. You'll also see the colorful houses on the river Inn. You have to climb 148 stairs to go to the top.

    Opening hours; october to may; from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June to september; from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

    The Stadtturm is Innsbruck's old City Tower, an annex of what used to be the City Hall, probably used mainly as a watch tower (to look for fires). Built at the middle of the 15th century, the architecture is very nicely done, with the colorful clock and the nice round shaped part which you can see when on the upper terrace. I guess this is a must climbing the hundred and something steps (free with the Innsbruck card .. but I can't remember how much without it .. anyway you should get the Innsbruck Card).

    For a view of Innsbruck and the roofs of the old town (including one famous golden one ;-) you can climb the city tower. Unfortunately I had a bad back the week we were in Innsbruck so I didn't go up...

    The city tower was once used as a fire station and as the city prison.
