Stillness, Steel and Stars

“Linz.changes” is the city’s slogan and indeed Linz has a strong desire for innovation and an enthusiasm for new ventures. No other Austrian city has undergone such a transformation and this city on the Danube has become both successful and dynamic offering its residents a high quality of life, a place where visitors can sense this spirit of renaissance for themselves.
As the days grow shorter, Linz presents itself in a unique light. The fragrance of spicy ginger bread and rich Linzer torte fills the air at Christmas markets and in patisseries, a beautifully illuminated city silhouette that unites modern and historic architecture, and the temptation of shopping in Linz’s city centre make the weeks before Christmas a magical time.
