City of Linz

Upper Austria's capital Linz sprawls along the banks of the Danube and is situated on the ancient Salt Road that used to link Salzkammergut to Bohemia.

Thus Linz is an industrial and manufacturing centre with a long history.

Linz, Austria’s third-largest city is picturesquely embedded in the Danube Valley and encircled by gently rolling foothills. Linz is a marvellous mix of classic centuries-old European architecture within a modern-day lifestyle. Linz offers a perfect blend of big town shopping opportunities, cultural activities, and fine wining & dining.
