Itinerary

Mariendom

10 min

A soaring Gothic Revival giant of pale sandstone, this is the largest church in all of Austria. Its single great spire rises high above the rooftops of Linz.
Schlossmuseum Linz

10 min

A hilltop imperial castle crowning the old town, now home to Austria's largest universal museum and some of the finest views over the Danube.
Linzer Landhaus

10 min

A stately Renaissance palace built on the ruins of a monastery, where Johannes Kepler once taught the stars. Today it is the beating heart of Upper Austria's government.
Alter Dom

10 min

A plain baroque facade hides one of Austria's most dazzling church interiors, where a young Anton Bruckner once played the organ. This is the church that served as Linz's cathedral for over a century.
Hauptplatz

10 min

Linz's grand baroque main square, one of the largest enclosed squares in Europe, crowned by a soaring white marble Trinity Column.
Lentos Kunstmuseum (Museum of Modern Art Linz)

10 min

A long, luminous glass block on the banks of the Danube, the Lentos is Linz's museum of modern art, glowing in shifting colours after dark. Inside hangs one of Austria's finest collections of twentieth century painting, from Klimt to Schiele.
Nibelungenbrucke Worms - Die alte Rheinbrucke

10 min

The stately main bridge over the Danube, linking Linz's old town to the Urfahr bank. From its span the whole city unfolds, framed by the river that has shaped Linz for millennia.
Ars Electronica Center

10 min

A shimmering glass cube on the Danube that glows in shifting colours after dark. Inside, Linz's self-styled 'Museum of the Future' lets you touch robots, artificial intelligence and digital art.
Stop 9

10 min

A grand, Italian-flavored square where a Florentine loggia and a butter-yellow Baroque church frame the gateway to Munich's royal quarter. It is also where the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch met its bloody end, leaving a lasting scar on German history.
