Innsbruck old town and Hofburg
A city day out with the Golden Roof, the Hofburg and the Nordkette
Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrol and a pleasant city for a day out: the old town is compact and largely car-free. The Golden Roof, the balcony with 2,657 gilded copper shingles built for Emperor Maximilian I, is the best-known landmark. Close by are the Hofburg and the medieval arcaded streets.
If you like, combine the city with the Nordkette cable car, which climbs from the centre to the Hafelekar in three stages. A pass such as the Innsbruck Card can pay off if you visit several sights and lifts; work out beforehand whether it fits your plan. With children, a partial programme usually works better than trying to do everything in one day.
