About Goldenes Dachl

This is one spectacular wedding gift! Often used to showcase the old part of Innsbruck town, the Goldenes Dachl literally means 'golden roof'. To celebrate the emperor's second marriage and to refute the rumours of paucity, the building's top is gilded with over 2500 stunning copper tiles. Not only is this a symbol of the buildings riches, but the Goldenes Dachl museum also contains many spellbinding technologies for you to experience, such as touchscreen displays, sound installations and interactive activities with the exhibits.  The oriel at the top also gives way to some beautiful views of the city and the wall clock. The building is also set against the beautiful Alps, and so be sure to capture a few photographs of the golden roof glinting against the pristine snow.
