About Linz
Situated on the river Danube, Linz is the capital of Upper Austria (Oberoesterreich). Since the romans founded a settlement on this strategical spot in Central Europe, Linz has been an important trading city. With almost 200,000 inhabitants the third city in Austria, Linz is an important industrial and economical centre in the country. Though the image of an industrial town kept tourists away for a long time, the city has nowadays become an attractive tourist destination as well and besides its charming old centre, Linz has a lot to offer as to attractions, cultural events and festivals. The founding of the renowned Johannes Kepler university in Linz in the sixties, enhanced the city's lively ambience even more.
In wintertime, the picturesque town centre of Linz attracts many visitors for its Christmas markets. With its baroque downtown square, charming illuminated streets and views over the Danube river, the romantic ambience of Linz is enchanting. Its main cultural attractions are the Lentos Art Museum, beautifully located on the Danube river, and the Ars Electroninca Center which exhibits a combination of contemporary art and technology. On visiting Linz, one should also not miss out a train ride on Europe's steepest mountain railway up the Pöstlingberg Mountain. Another recommendation are the Botenical Gardens of Gugl, regarded as one of the most beautiful in Europe.
