Incredibly contemporary, Upper Austria 1
In Linz on the Danube,
culture meets vitality
Linz on the Danube really is for anyone who is open to new experiences and lives in the here and
now. The unique character of the city is just waiting to be discovered. The strength of the river and
the easy-going nature of the city’s inhabitants exist side by side. The vibrant museums and the his-
torical Old Town perfectly complement each other because of their differences. Almost as surreal
are the boat trips along the harbour’s metre-high graffiti artworks or the industrial tours. These
experiences, in all their diversity, encapsulate Linz. Just immersing yourself in this atmosphere once
will be enough to have you coming back to the city for years to come.
“Linz changes” is not just an empty phrase: the city in the centre of Upper Austria is always reinven-
ting itself, while at the same time remaining authentic and looking towards the future. An important
milestone in the city’s development was its designation as Capital of Culture 2009 – 2019 is the
tenth anniversary of this event. Linz is also proud to hold the title of UNESCO City of Media Arts,
something which visitors can really experience when they’re here. The fact that the city also enga-
ges with the past in a contemporary manner and translates this into the present led the European
Commission to further acknowledge Linz in 2018 with the “European Smart Tourism Award” in the
“Cultural Heritage & Creativity” category. This just goes to show that another of Linz’s strengths is
making historical cultural heritage accessible through creative approaches.
Explore Linz together
Organising a group trip to the city of the future really is the epitome of the zeitgeist. The diversity,
short distances and authentic experiences will excite all those taking part. They will be surprised
and amazed. And, thus, you will remember your group trip to Linz for a long time, with all its culture
and incredible moments.

Experience the future
in Linz today
At first glance, it is a former industrial city, at second glance
an exciting metropolis of culture; you will be full of curiosity
and anticipation before your visit, and a surprising passion for
the city after your trip: all of this, and more, awaits you in Linz,
where the future is already here.
If it is your first time in the city, let yourself be carried away by the open atmosphere of the city
centre, by the buildings from a huge variety of eras, by the diverse cultural offerings and by the
Danube, which is a part of Linz now more than ever. What sets this city apart from others is its
character and its constant evolution. A particular turning point was 2009, when Linz became
the European Capital of Culture. The list of new openings around that time is impressive, from
the Schlossmuseum to the voestalpine Stahlwelt, the Ars Electronica Center and the Pöst-
lingbergbahn Hauptplatz extension. Another legacy of Linz09 is the Musiktheater, which was
opened in 2013 and is one of the most modern opera houses in Europe. The ideas, projects and
initiatives from the Capital of Culture year still excite visitors and residents alike.
Immerse yourself in the city of change
In Linz, the banks of the Danube are a place of relaxation and culture: the green areas and res-
taurants invite you to linger during the day and at night the futuristic, illuminated façades of the
museums are guaranteed to amaze. Equally impressive are the exhibitions, which range from
the contemporary works in the Lentos Art Museum to the innovative developments and pro-
jects in the Ars Electronica Center. In the Museum of the Future, technological forward-thin-
king meets visionary media art.
Further downstream in the industrial harbour is an art project of a different kind: “Mural
Harbor” is Europe’s largest graffiti and muralismo gallery with around 200 spray-painted works
along the harbour. And in the nearby industrial area the voestalpine Stahlwelt offers a unique
look behind the scenes.
Although its constant change and forward-looking nature are what give Linz its identity, people
are always the central focus in the UNESCO City of Media Arts. Anyone who is curious and
open will have an unforgettable time in the city on the Danube, enjoy new experiences and see
for themselves the change which characterises this city.

legendary trails, explores the beautiful river landscape on the Danube Cycle Path, experiences the countryside rolling by from a boat and
samples culinary delicacies.
