About Linz

Linz is Upper Austria's capital on the Danube, pairing a baroque old town and a hilltop church with media art, steelworks and its namesake torte.

Linz is Upper Austria's capital, strung along the Danube between Salzburg and Vienna. The Hauptplatz, a broad main square, is framed by baroque façades and the Trinity Column, and lanes lead up to the castle above the river. The Pöstlingberg, a hill north of the Danube crowned by a twin-towered pilgrimage church, is reached by a steep tram line.
