Linz
even more beautiful when you’re there

Neuer Dom - Mariendom

Linz’s “new cathedral”, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, is an architectural masterpiece. It is Austria’s largest church with room for around 20,000 people.

Join a guided tour and climb up to the inner gallery for fascinating views of the church’s interior from a height of 15 metres. Tours of the tower, with spectacular views over the city, are highly recommended.

Der Pöstlingberg

The Pöstlingbergbahn electric railway takes you up Linz’s very own mountain in comfort and from the main square itself. The observation platform gives you a panoramic view of the entire city and as far as the Alps. The pilgrimage church on the summit is the city’s landmark and well worth a visit.

The Grottenbahn railway takes you down to a world of dwarves, forest animals and fairy tales. In the basement you trundle across Linz as it was at the turn of the 20th century, with Hotel Wolfinger present and correct too! And don’t forget your handkerchief, because in Linz it is the custom to blow the noses of the dwarves on the Pöstlingberg. The Pöstlingbergbahn stops at Linz Zoo, so why not drop in for a visit?

Schlossmuseum

The Schlossmuseum in Linz is Austria’s largest universal museum. On some 18,000 m² of floor space it houses an extensive collection of historic exhibits from the natural world, culture and technological achievements of Upper Austria.

Landstraße

Landstrasse in Linz is one of the most famous and highly frequented shopping streets in Austria. Starting from the main square, it stretches southward to the Musiktheater. The side streets are well worth a look too, with unique and trendy shops and cafés tucked away in them.
