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.

In the same Herzog Friedrich Street, you can admire the City Tower (from 1450), from which to enjoy a wonderful view on Innsbruck (open summer 10am-6pm, winter 10am-4pm).
I read the clock was the largest of the world (TBC!).

Climb the 148 steps of the Stadtturm (City Tower) and you will catch a breathtaking view of Innsbruck and the Alps surrounding the city. This is also a great spot to catch a glimpse of the magnificent Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof) from 31 meters up.

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.

Well worth the small cost is to climb the tower located in the main street of the Old Town (you can't miss it). Fomr on top there are fantastic views of both the city and of course the alps surrounding Innsbruck. A definate must.
