It is a phenomenal city for everyone looking for cultural, scientific and business activities. Located midway between the famous cities Salzburg and Vienna, Linz is the perfect place for a relaxed holiday, a fun weekend get-away, a family vacation or a business trip.

Next to many fascinating sites like the Old Town Hall or the city's cathedral, it is also known for its many museums, offering something for everyone’s taste and interest.

Get your bearings
Make sure to visit one of Linz’s many museums during your trip. The most popular and famous one probably being the Ars Electronica Center (also called museum of the future) where you will be astonished by technological and futuristic inventions and ideas. But also the Lentos (museum for modern and classical art) and the Schlossmuseum are worth a visit. With all these museums, there will be something for everyone to enjoy and learn.
Don’t miss
You don’t want to miss the breathtaking view you get from the platform on top of the local mountain, the Pöstlingberg. You can already see it when you are in Linz and can admire the beautiful historic church that was built on the mountain but once you make it up there, you get to enjoy an incredible view of the city and the nature surrounding it.
While you’re there
The Linzer Torte is said to be the oldest cake ever to be named after a place so during your visit make sure to give it a try. It is a delicious, traditional Austrian pastry topped with fruit preserves and sliced nuts with a lattice design on top. You will find it with all kinds of different fruit and nut toppings so choose your favourite and dig in. Or just try several and compare!
