Why Linz matters
Linz sits on the Danube and has swapped its industrial image for a creative one. A digital arts museum glows at night by the river, a hill with a pilgrimage church overlooks the city and the region gave its name to the Linzer torte, a jam-filled pastry. It's a good base for exploring Upper Austria and for cyclists on the Danube route.
Talking points
- The Linzer torte is a jam-filled cake with a long history.
- The city is a hub for digital art and technology.
- The Danube cycle path runs through town.
