Set on the banks of the Danube River, Linz is a city where history and high-tech meet in perfect harmony. Once known for its industrial roots, today Linz is a dynamic UNESCO City of Media Arts — a hub of creativity, innovation, and bold cultural expression.
The city’s heart blends the Baroque elegance of the Old Town with cutting-edge architecture and digital art installations. Stroll through the spacious Main Square (Hauptplatz), admire the stunning Mariendom (Austria’s largest church), or dive into interactive exhibits at the Ars Electronica Center — Linz’s iconic “Museum of the Future.”
Linz is also home to a vibrant arts and music scene, including the annual Klangwolke and Bruckner Festival, honoring its native composer Anton Bruckner. From classical concerts to contemporary galleries, the city celebrates both its cultural heritage and forward-looking vision.
Add to that beautiful riverside parks, cozy cafés, and nearby green spaces like the Pöstlingberg, and you’ll discover a city that’s as livable as it is inspiring.
Linz is Austria’s best-kept secret — creative, evolving, and ready to surprise you.
