Linz: im Blick
Built around a Danube crossing, Linz grew into the capital of Upper Austria. The Danube remains the city’s main axis, separating the historic centre on its south bank from Urfahr on the north; the Nibelungen Bridge is one of their principal links. Linz’s riverfront is marked by cultural institutions with an international profile, including the Lentos Kunstmuseum and the Ars Electronica Center, devoted to art, technology and society. The city also has a long industrial identity centred on steelmaking. Composer Anton Bruckner spent formative years in Linz, and its concert hall, the Brucknerhaus, bears his name. Shipping, broad quays, major roads and civic culture share the same urban Danube corridor.

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.
