Linz, the capital of Upper Austria on the Danube, has undergone a remarkable transformation from an industrial site to a creative cultural city over the past decades. The designation as European Capital of Culture in 2009 marked the peak of this transformation and brought forth numerous new cultural institutions, making Linz one of the most exciting cities in Austria today.

The Ars Electronica Center, internationally known as the "Museum of the Future," is a world leader at the intersection of art, technology, and society. At the Lentos Art Museum, a luminous glass cube directly on the Danube, one encounters works by Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka. The Tobacco Factory, a listed industrial building, has been transformed into a creative hub with start-ups, studios, and event spaces. At the same time, the main square impresses as one of the largest enclosed squares in Europe with its baroque Trinity Column.

Culinary-wise, Linz has made history: The Linzer Torte, first mentioned in a recipe in 1653, is considered the oldest known cake recipe in the world and is a must-try in the city's traditional confectioneries. The Pöstlingberg, accessible by the nostalgic Pöstlingberg railway, offers a magnificent view over the city and the Danube Valley and is home to the pilgrimage church and the Grottenbahn, a popular family excursion destination. The long-distance cycling path runs through the city along the Danube, and the Pflasterspektakel transforms Linz into a huge street artist stage every summer.
