Discover Linz

Linz is the third largest city in Austria with 205,000 inhabitants (2018), on the Danube (Donau) river, and the capital of the federal province of Upper Austria (Oberösterreich) and forms the heart of Austria's second strongest economic region. Linz is primarily known as a major industrial centre but also has a very picturesque historical old town including Austria's largest central square, surrounded by an impressive ensemble of Baroque architecture. Linz has tried to reposition itself as a cultural hub with numerous new museums and events. The tourist slogan of the city is "In Linz beginnt's" ("It starts in Linz").
