Linz – the pulsating city on the Danube
„Linz changes" is the slogan of Linz, the city on the Danube, where there is a lot to discover. Linz was not only in the 2009 European Capital of Culture, but has evolved from the grey industrial city to a radiant and economically successful cultural metropolis. A modern dynamic city and high quality of life awaits its visitors. Linz is a stage both for theater and music at its best, as well as contemporary art, history and science museums.
Traditional culture, modern architecture and rhythmic sounds and light installations all help to shape a trip to Linz on the banks of the Danube.
Linz offers both tradition and modernity. The former European Capital of Culture invites you to events such as the art, music and film festivals. Alongside sights such as the New Cathedral, the “Old Lady” railway bridge and the main square, mountains and the Danube also characterize the city. A train will take you directly from the historic city center to the mountain known as the Pöstlingberg. A walk along the Danube takes you past modern architecture, including the Brucknerhaus congress center, the Lentos Museum and the Ars Electronica Center. Anyone travelling to Upper Austria’s principle city on business can see out the working day in comfort at the Trans Word Hotel Linz.
