About Linz

Linz, the city on the Danube, has transformed itself from grey industrial city to light and bright cultural metropolis, an attractive destination for city break tourists who come to relish the harmonious blend of past, present and future. Linz enjoys a reputation as one of the most successful cities in Austria, if not Middle Europe. All manner of scientists, writers and artists such as Johannes Kepler, Anton Bruckner and Adalbert Stifter thrived in the city and produced some of their most memorable work here.

The city’s slogan is its agenda: The Linz cityscape features historic facades juxtaposed with futuristically lit, architecturally acclaimed buildings. There are several new constructions to celebrate Linz’s status as European Capital of Culture 2009 and which have enhanced the broad spectrum of urban architecture. The Ars Electronica Centre – the museum of the future – has been extended to provide 6,500 m2 of exhibition space and adorns the left bank of the Danube with its LED illuminated glass forms reminiscent of a ship. The new southern wing of Linz Palace provides a breathtaking view of the whole city. The World of Steel exhibition and visitor centre at voestalpine AG gives fascinating insight into the production of steel in every conceivable form. But Linz offers so much more: the city has a new, modern, cosmopolitan face and its variety, design and creativity are a powerful source of stimulation.

Linz is the 3rd biggest city of Austria and located in the north of the country half way between Salzburg and Vienna.
