On the one hand, the New Cathedral is the
largest church in Austria, and on the other, a
haven of peace at the heart of the city, which
invites you to pause and take time to think
– something that is also symbolised by the
Turmeremiten, or tower hermits.

The international showcase for sustainable urban development was
built entirely using low-energy construction. The architectural planning of the area that provides living space to about 3,000 people
comes essentially from Roland Rainer, with the overall energy / architectural concept coming from the READ Group (Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Thomas Herzog). The dwellings in SolarCity are built
in different forms of the solar design system and even the pastoral
centre is fitted with the latest solar technology.

Throughout the year, the banks of the Danube
are a hotspot for relaxation, art and culture.
The Danube parks become a stage in the summer months, time and again. Linz’s concert
hall named after the great composer and
organist Anton Bruckner inspires musicians
and visitors alike with premium-class acoustics
and a diverse programme.

The Old Town of Linz, with its shops and pubs, is
a wonderful place to relax. The most eye-catching feature of the historical centre is Austria’s
largest universal museum in the Linzer Schloss,
which presents exhibitions on nature and technology, and much more. Unforgettable: the view
from the terrace over the city’s rooftops.

The tobacco factory built in 1929-35 on the design by Peter Behrens
and Alexander Popp was the first large steel-framed building in Austria.
The reconstruction and extension commissioned by the then tobacco
monopoly (on this site since 1850) ranks among the great international achievements of industrial architecture. After the closure of
the production facility in 2009, the listed ensemble was purchased
by the city of Linz, interim and further use processes are underway
such as cultural and (creative) industrial usage. The VALIE EXPORT
CENTER, a research centre for media and performance art is going to
be established at the tobacco factory.

Die 1929-35 nach Entwürfen von Peter Behrens und Alexander Popp
errichtete Tabakfabrik ist der erste große Stahlskelettbau in Österreich. Der vom damaligen Monopolbetrieb der Tabakregie (seit 1850
an diesem Standort) beauftragte Um- und Erweiterungsbau zählt zu
den großen internationalen Leistungen der Industriearchitektur. Nach
Schließung der Produktionsstätte 2009 wurde das denkmalgeschützte Ensemble von der Stadt Linz angekauft, seither findet ein Transformationsprozess hin zu kulturellen und (kreativ)wirtschaftlichen Nutzungen statt. Das VALIE EXPORT Center, ein Forschungszentrum für

voestalpine AG, one of Europe’s major steel producers, has had a
huge impact in terms of shaping the economic history and the city.
The concern, founded in 1938 as the Hermann-Göring-Works was
renamed the United Austrian Iron and Steel Works (VÖEST) in 1945
and 1949 saw the development there of a revolutionary technology
in steel production using the LD steel production process. Nowadays
voestalpine AG is one of the cleanest steel plants in Europe. The visitor centre voestalpine World of Steel is part of an overall architectural

Die voestalpine AG, einer der europaweit wichtigsten Stahlerzeuger,
hat die wirtschaftliche Geschichte und das Stadtbild bis heute entscheidend geprägt. Der 1938 als Hermann-Göring-Werke gegründete
Konzern wurde 1945 in Vereinigte österreichische Eisen- und Stahlwerke (VÖEST) umbenannt, 1949 wurde mit dem LD-Verfahren eine
revolutionäre Technik der Stahlproduktion entwickelt. Heute ist die
voestalpine AG eines der saubersten Stahlwerke Europas. Das Besucherzentrum „voestalpine Stahlwelt“ ist Teil eines architektonischen
Gesamtkonzeptes rund um die Konzernzentrale.

Our tips for a change in Linz.
In Linz, change is fundamental. The Danube’s change of course gave the city its name: Lentos, Celtic for curved, bending, from
which the Roman fort Lentia derives. Progress and change shape the interplay of history, present and future, which can be felt
here in the culture, quality of life and business. It is a positive change experienced by visitors and locals alike.
Allow yourself to be surprised and take the effect of the meandering river home with you.
Linz City Walking Tour
Austria Guides are the city’s insiders and
invite you on an entertaining journey
through time: You can discover stories of
change, perspectives for the future, and
experiences of the latest city events on
the 1.5-hour walking tour.
Change of genre
The theatre and music scene in Linz
is diverse. We recommend a change of
genre. Why not the Posthof instead of
Brucknerhaus for once, or vice versa?
4
Why not see a play that is full of surprises? Openness to modern art and
culture has the potential to provide new
experiences.
The city of short distances
Take the bus or the tram for once, instead
of travelling by car. New perspectives on
the city will be opened up, and you’ll get
to know the people of Linz!
Taste experience
Have you ever been to a Thai, Indian,
Mongolian or Japanese restaurant? Yes?
Then try out the Upper Austrian cuisine
with pub tapas or breakfast tapas, which
allow you to widen your tastes. Try something new, be curious – Linz is the best
place for that.
Turn a fresh page
Linz’s bookshops, libraries, the Upper
Austrian Literature Museum, and the
exhibition catalogues in Linz’s museums
will motivate you to change. A new book
provides impulses and broadens your
horizons. Books about Linz allow you to
immerse yourself in Linz’s history and
present!
Styling à la Linz
The Linz hairdressers, and the fashionable clothes and shoe shops help you to
change your appearance.
A view of Linz
Look at the city from a new perspective: A
city tour on the Danube to Linz’s harbour
or one of the many viewpoints make these
new insights possible. Franz-Josef-Warte,
Pöstlingberg, the banks of the Danube in
Alt-Urfahr, Wissensturm, Sonnenpromenade along the Aloisianum, voestalpine
Stahlwelt – from here, there are views of
the various districts.
Relax
A city trip is full of impressions and often
includes long walks. So it sometimes
does good to have a rest and enjoy some
peace and quiet. Linz offers not only
diverse nature within the city, but is also
an Audio City – here, value is placed on a
responsible attitude to noise. Noise bombardment free areas e.g. hotels, restaurants and Linz’s numerous churches offer
rest for your ears and your soul.
5
Culture – nature – business:
a triad for Linz
In Linz, you’ll find the most modern music theatre in Europe
and a vibrant contemporary culture scene as well as a thriving
economy with leading global companies.
A green city
It is not only in the fantastically maintained Old Town that the legendary green
city’s connection to its long history is
expressed. Even so, Linz looks to the
future – and discovers a zest for life in
the here and now.
6
Be curious
This city entices you to be curious, to
discover and try new things, and to relax
and slow down. Culture is inspirational,
allows you to recognise connections and
to pause and reflect, for a fulfilled life.
7
WORLD-CLASS ART
BY THE DANUBE
The Donaupark in Linz, with its buildings and sculptures, allows you to follow
the trail of world-famous artists of the
Bauhaus school and modern architecture.
Here, you’ll encounter the works of greats
like Herbert Bayer, Günther Uecker, Erwin
Reiter, David Rabinowitch and many more.
LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz is the starting
point for this exploration. forum metall was
founded in 1977 by Helmuth Gsöllpointner, then a professor at the Linz University
of Arts and Industrial Design, and Peter
Baum, at that time the head of the Neue
Galerie der Stadt Linz. The aim was to
connect art and business, and to point to
Linz’s significant role as an industrial location and an up-and-coming art metropolis. Tours are now offered from LENTOS
Kunstmuseum.

UNESCO City of Media Arts
The city’s designation as a UNESCO City of Media Arts at the end of 2014 shows
that Linz, together with Lyon, Sapporo, Tel Aviv and Dakar, is one of the world’s most
future-orientated locations. In Linz, the focus is on the media arts centre around Ars
Electronica, with its internationally renowned Prix Ars Electronica, which is always
awarded in September, with Ars Electronica Center, a museum of the future, and
with the Futurelab and A/E/C Solutions, the research and development facilities. In
addition, active, creative development in the area of industry and business as well as
creative talent in Linz are promoted.
Photos: Philipp Greindl, Martin Hieslmaier
In the UNESCO City of Media Arts, you’ll
find the world’s largest connected outdoor
gallery. You can currently admire around
200 pictures on the facades of the
harbour buildings. The paintings (some
of which are oversized) by international
spray-paint artists and graffiti artists from
20 countries come into being as part of
Bubble Days, which takes place in June
every year and transforms Linz’s harbour
into a festival space. The best place from
which to admire the artwork is on the
water – during a harbour tour or one of
the Mural Harbor guided tours available
from 2016.
www.muralharbor.at
Tabakfabrik Linz
The sparks from ideas rather than cigarettes now fire productivity in
Tabakfabrik Linz. The industrial jewel in the style of the New Objectivity is gradually becoming a focal point for cultural and creative industries developing new technologies and innovative forms of cooperation.
As the pulsating heart of a new area of urban development not far
from the Danube harbour, the approx. 80,000 m² Tabakfabrik offers a
multifaceted series of events and a colourful collection of design shops,
galleries, ateliers, trendy cafes and craftsmanship. Around 340 people
already work here – more than were working in the tobacco factory
before it closed.
The spectrum extends from agencies to cultural associations, media
laboratories and creative start-ups. As the last large industrial construction of the renowned architect Peter Behrens, Tabakfabrik Linz is one
of the most innovative buildings of international modernity in Austria.

Valie Export
(Center)
The pioneer of conceptual media art,
performance art and cinematics is a
native of Linz. As part of Linz’s designation as a UNESCO City of Media Arts, the
Valie Export Center is being established in
the Tabakfabrik, where the artist’s legacy
will be prepared for the public and for
research purposes.
Innovation – universities – business
With regard to its citizens, the city probably has the most world market leaders. There
are hardly any railway lines in the world that do not use technology from Linz, every
second car in Europe was built from voestalpine steel, super sports cars are driven by
gear components from Linz, and the latest generation of plastics makes life easier – in
almost all industrial sectors there is a strong piece of Linz’s innovation. The city’s location by the Danube certainly plays a decisive role here. It all began with the shipping
industry and the horse-drawn railway, which made Linz a trading venue, followed by the
only shipyard by the Danube and the best steelworks in the world, voestalpine. There
are seven universities and universities of applied sciences with various faculties ranging from medicine to technology, economics, health, law, education and theology.

the Linzer Schloss Austria’s largest universal museum in one location in 2009.
In addition to the collections, there are
special exhibitions. The restaurants in the
Linzer Schloss provide a great view over
the city and the Danube!
www.schlossmuseum.at
OÖ Kulturquartier is the common link
connecting the Landeskulturzentrum
Ursulinenhof and the OK Offenes

pieces written or composed, staged using
What a

In addition to the large venues of the
Landestheater, Linz also has fascinating
smaller theatres, which will captivate your
imagination with their original plays:
Brucknerhaus –
premium-class acoustics
Photos: Brucknerhaus, Christian Herzenberger; Günter Gröger;
Dedicated to the famous composer Anton Bruckner, Brucknerhaus Linz, in its
classic, timeless form, has immersed the banks of the Danube in a Klangwolke,
or cloud of sound, every year since 1974.
Concerts ranging from the classic to the
modern, guest productions and open-air
events. Designed by the Finnish architects Kaija and Heikki Sirén with particular attention to excellent acoustics and a
timelessly modern design.
The International Bruckner Festival in
September is dedicated to a partner country every year, for example South Korea in
2016, and Iran in 2017. Other festivals,
such as the Piano Festival, Baroque
Festival, Guitar Festival, Jazz Festival
and many more span a year of premium-
class music. For those in Linz who enjoy
modern events, the Posthof and TipsArena
are available. Contemporary cabaret,
literature, pop and dance immerse the
Posthof in contemporary culture at the
harbour. TipsArena, on the other hand,
houses largescale concerts, musicals and
other cultural events.

Pöstlingberg
Adventure World
Linz’s top excursion destination is visible from far across the city, since on the hill
reachable on the historical adhesion railway from Hauptplatz stands the pilgrimage
basilica called the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by a Maximilian
fortress. At the summit, there are various restaurants and a panorama platform,
which provides you with a wonderful view of the Danube and the city.
www.linztourismus.at/adventure-world-poestlingberg
Pöstlingbergbahn
The steepest adhesion railway on
the continent has been travelling up
Pöstlingberg for more than 100 years,
and since 2009 with modernised carriages. Along a track measuring 4.14
km, the mountain railway overcomes a
difference in altitude of 255 metres in
20 minutes. Tip: A Hearonymus app is
available to passengers free of charge
and, in 29 audio guide chapters, explains the ascent route, a circular route
on the mountain and 19 stations of the
Grottenbahn, or grotto railway.
www.poestlingbergbahn.at
Zoo Linz
Zoo Linz is situated halfway up the
ascent route (at Tiergarten station),
where over 600 native and exotic
animals can be seen.

Hartlauer photo gallery
National and international photographic
art of the highest calibre can be seen
at this gallery. The exhibitions change
several times a year, providing a stage
for both amateur and professional
photographers.

Nowhere does the Danube flow more
colourfully than in Linz. The Danube’s
change of course gave the city its
name: Lentos, or Lentia, and the
Danube always was and remains a
hub and pivotal point for Linz. After
all, it flows right through the centre
and is the source of life and progress.
Europe’s main artery is also the centre
of history and culture here.
An experience for all your senses –
Linz.change(d) Advent
At the most peaceful time of the year, you can experience the reflective side of the otherwise pulsating Creative City. There are traditional Christmas markets as well as trendy Advent locations. From
mid-November, the atmospheric Advent markets enchant visitors and locals alike.
At the Christkindlmarkt on Linz’s Hauptplatz in the romantic baroque ambience
of the Old Town, you can taste typical
regional delicacies like Bauernkrapfen,
or farmers’ doughnuts, Kletzenbrot, a
traditional fruit bread, and Bratwurst from
a charcoal grill, and can find the finest
handicrafts at the beautifully illuminated
stalls. At the Christmas market in the
Volksgarten, families and craftsmanship
lovers immerse themselves in a Christmas
fairy-tale world opposite the Musiktheater.
Linz also hopes to inspire you to try new
things – for example, to visit a noise bombardment free, sustainable winter market
on Pfarrplatz or a Christmas factory in
the Tabakfabrik. Musica sacra concerts in
Linz’s churches entice you to take some
time out from the hustle and bustle of
Christmas, and Ars Electronica Center
takes you off into the endless expanses
of the universe in Deep Space. Creative
Christmas markets, sparkling evening
boat trips with music and dinner, ice skat-
ing in the city centre, Christmas concert
festivals and festive theatre make the wait
for the Christmas period a pleasurable
and exciting time.
Food for thought:
As part of Linz.change(d), increasingly
more associations and companies are
escaping the hectic time before Christmas
and instead, celebrating with cuisine and
culture at the beginning of the new year.

On a city trip, there’s always time for
shopping too. Landstraße at the heart
of Linzer City is Upper Austria’s most
frequented shopping street. Here, you’ll
find the flagship stores of global brands
as well as small shops where you can
browse and taste, and three shopping
malls in the city centre offer a selection
for every taste.

Sustainable, sensory and at the heart of the action:
Shopping in Linzer City
Shopping in Linzer City and in Austria’s
second-largest shopping street – Landstraße – is a truly pleasurable experience
every time. But what makes shopping in
the city such a pleasure?
Cities have also always been marketplaces. The “also” is important, since
they are far more than just collections
of shops. In contrast to shopping malls
outside the city, which make a real effort
to create the added value that is part of
a city’s nature, in addition to the malls’
high concentration of shops. This atmosphere is formed from the connection
with the people who live here and who do
not only spend time here to go shopping.
It is the multidimensional nature of city
life manifested in a small space: living,
working, learning, visiting a doctor or
lawyer, exercise, encounters, and cultural,
political and spiritual life.
19
For the long shopping nights
in May and September,
Linzer City always has
a special motto.
www.linzer-city.at
20
Diversity instead of monoculture
The city is a communal, shared space – a
place of diversity. What is it that creates
this lively, authentic atmosphere that
gives the city centre its special aura?
A park with green areas and benches
beneath old, tall trees in front of, next to,
or at the heart of historical and modern
buildings will always be different from a
seating area under fireresistant plastic
trees or pot plants in the sterile shine of
LED spotlights.
Sun, wind and weather
It may sound banal, but an essential
difference between an urban space and
a shopping centre is the presence or
absence of sun, wind and weather. The
presence of these aspects improves your
shopping experience. The shops and coffee
houses become cosier and more attractive
when it is chilly outside. A warming drink
in Advent is only really a pleasure in the
winter cold. On the other hand, an ice
cream or a refreshing drink in the garden
of a cafe or restaurant is truly invigorating
on a hot summer’s day.

Traces of history
From “Linz by the sea” via the Celts, Romans and Habsburgs, through to modern
times: Linz’s history has been closely linked to the Danube over millennia.
Since the Danube came into being, then
later the Celtic settlement LENTOS and
the Roman fort LENTIA, which gave
Linz its name, the city has experienced
continuous development and has been
inextricably linked to the river and
the history of Europe. The name Linz
originally meant the curve in the river, or
where it changes its course – which suits
the city’s development, shaped by change
and still dedicated to a forward-looking
approach and innovation today. From
the medieval trading city and stopover
destination on the route to Vienna, where
emperors and kings, bishops, artists and
traders met, a space for creatives, business and art has developed.
The Danube is also a river of destiny.
The Roman Empire reached right up to
its banks, which the Romans developed
as the Danube limes, a fortified border
against the Germanic peoples. Napoleon
also used the Danube for his conquests
through Europe. The river finally became
the symbol of the Imperial & Royal Habsburg Monarchy.

Linz’s involvement in the Civil War of
1934 and the Nazi period (1938–1945)
has left its stamp on the city up to the
present day. Following the Anschluss
(annexation) of Austria, which Adolf Hitler
announced here, Linz was, as the protégé
city of the Führer, the favoured object
of Nazi urban and economic planning
measures.
The rapid expansion of the city was driven
by the incorporation of smaller municipalities into bigger ones, and by the forced
labour of thousands of foreign workers.
This was what made possible the construction of large industrial sites like
Linz is declared
nomous diocese.
uke Ferdi-
f Bohemia
Reichswerke Hermann Göring, which
primarily served the purpose of armament
for war. In and around Linz, educational
and memorial sites are reminders of those
dark times.
Guided tours with the state-certified
Austria Guides in Linz and the surrounding area inform you about its history
from 1934 to 1955. During the Nazi
dictatorship, existing tunnel systems
were enlarged for air-raid purposes and
as command centres through the forced
labour of concentration camp prisoners. It
is possible to view part of this shelter, in
order to learn more about the construction
of and the experience of staying in the
Limoni tunnels.
Themed tours with the Austria Guides:
The region is intensively concerned with
the process of examining and coming to
terms with the past. Scientific publications, memorials, symposia and cultural
projects like Friedensstadt Linz – Linz, City
of Peace – represent an injunction to not
forget and to try to learn from the past.

In recent years, conferences have become “greener” and thereby more sustainable. However, the human aspect has unfortunately suffered a little. As the logical development of green events, Blue Meeting® focuses on people and the environment.
As concerns meetings, this means that the general and individual needs of people are given more attention than previously.
Blue Meeting® is a Linz invention. Developed by Linz Tourismus, it takes up the “Blue Architecture” concept of sustainable

Linz lies not only at the centre of Europe, but also at the heart of Upper Austria,
surrounded by the well-known Upper Austrian regions of the Salzkammergut, PyhrnPriel, the Mühlviertel and Danube-Region. Many excursion destinations can therefore
be easily reached in a very short time. In addition, there are four UNESCO World
Heritage Sites within a radius of 200 km and four national parks.
