Linz
Linz straddles the Danube in Upper Austria, and its river corridor has long shaped it as a trading, industrial and cultural centre. Austria’s third-largest city extends between the river plain and the wooded rise of Pöstlingberg, while the Danube embankments link central districts with Urfahr on the northern bank. Steelmaker voestalpine has its headquarters here, reflecting an industrial presence that remains integral to the city. Linz also cultivates a forward-looking cultural identity: the Ars Electronica festival, founded in 1979, established it as an international meeting place for art, technology and society. The Brucknerhaus concert hall on the Danube is named for composer Anton Bruckner, who worked in Linz as an organist.

Linz occupies both banks of the Danube in Upper Austria, where the river forms a broad urban corridor between the Bohemian Massif and the Alpine foothills. A longstanding industrial centre, the city also has a strong contemporary cultural profile: the Ars Electronica Center examines the links between art, technology and society, while the riverside Lentos Kunstmuseum presents modern and contemporary art. The historic Hauptplatz leads into the old town, and the Brucknerhaus concert hall honours composer Anton Bruckner. On the northern side of the river, Pöstlingberg provides a wooded hillside counterpoint to the central districts. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Linz and Upper Austria.

Formed around the Danube and Enns corridors, Upper Austria developed into one of Austria’s nine federal states. Linz, its capital on the Danube, combines a major industrial tradition with cultural institutions including the Ars Electronica Center. North of the river, the Mühlviertel rolls towards the Czech border; southward, the terrain rises into the Alpine foothills and the lake country of the Salzkammergut. Hallstatt, beside Hallstätter See, is among the region’s best-known historic settlements and lends its name to the Hallstatt period of early Iron Age Europe.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
