Linz Walking Tour
Linz, Austria
Why Walk Linz
Linz has transformed from an industrial city into a European Capital of Culture, anchored by the Ars Electronica Center — a museum of digital art, technology, and the future. The baroque Hauptplatz, one of the largest enclosed town squares in Austria, and the hilltop pilgrimage basilica on the Postlingberg provide the historic counterpoint. The Lentos Art Museum, a glass-fronted building on the Danube, glows at night.
