About
Quick facts: More than 200 colorful medieval houses line the narrow alleys of the old town. The Golden Roof with its 2,657 gilded copper shingles attracts over a million visitors each year.
Highlights: The Golden Roof was built as a representative loggia for Emperor Maximilian I and still offers an impressive combination of Renaissance art and city history. In autumn, the traditional St. Martin's Market with historic craft stalls and regional cuisine takes place in the old town.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for the cobblestones in the narrow alleys.
- Photograph the Golden Roof in the morning, when the sun shines directly on it.
- Avoid weekends, as significantly more tourists are out and about then.
- Also explore the small courtyards and hidden inner areas for special perspectives.
