New meets old in Linz and it's a pedestrian paradise!

The belching smoke stacks do detract from the city's beauty.
In a nutshell
Linz - sweet people with a whacky sense of humor
Altstadt - Take a few short-cuts!
Jerelis Says: But don’t sweat it … Linz also has hundreds of years of history; and nowhere is this more evident than at the city center and its alleys and narrow streets. The compact town of Linz is easy to get around, and the ideal place to explore on foot. Linz is Austria, and yet it is...
Altstadt - Game plan strategy.
Jerelis Says: Most people try to rush Linz on a budget so they end up missing some of the highlights in a whirlwind. The key to seeing Linz properly is a game plan, you must know what you want to see before getting out. Before we visited Linz we saw on a city map that the huge city of...
Jerelis Says: Take time to meander - losing yourself in the maze of alleys, streets and lanes is one of Linz old town´s principal pleasures. The streets wind and wander with no discernible order or object. After our stroll we rewarded ourselves with a cool glass of beer or wine for our...
Ignatiuskirche – Fairly simple exterior.
Jerelis Says: Standing on the outside of the church you can’t miss noticing that this Alter Dom has a fairly simple exterior with onion-dome-topped twin towers. On the other hand the interior has the usual Baroque rich excesses - pink marble columns, intricately carved pulpit and lots of...

herbertstein: You really MUST eat at this restaurant
wadekorzan Says: I am really sorry I do not have a photo to share of this restaurant, but there is no doubt that you will have a great experience here. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service extremely friendly, the food absolutely delicious. I could write much more, but don't you think...
Cafe Jentschke: Main Drag Linz
dustmon Says: Right in the City Center on my walk from the Viking Sky, got a beer and a sit down while most were watching the World Cup, I was people watching. The menu had plenty to look at, but a beer was all I can vouch for, and it was fresh and delicious. Beiren
Tram - Very good public transport service.
Jerelis Says: Being in Linz makes you realize that the city has a very good public transport service. A part of that service is the local tram. A map of this tram system (and also bus lines available) can be seen on the internetsit of Linz. Have a look at it and you will also find the...
Pöstlingberg Tram - For over 100 years!
Jerelis Says: Being at the Main Square in Linz gives you a clear view at the Pöstlingberg and its beautiful pilgrimage basilica. It also made us realize that it is quite a walk up there. Thank God for the Pöstlingberg Tram! For over a hundred years this tram has been impressing visitors...
Thalbauer Trachten: Traditional Austrian costumes
egonwegh Says: You'll come across several stores that sell traditional Austrian costumes and dresses. This one goes by the name of Thalbauer Trachten. Pictured is an example of a traditional dress (Dirndl). Price tag says this specific set costs approx. 160 euro.
Voltage, frequency and plug ins.
Jerelis Says: Maybe it sounds a bit weird, but as an experience traveler I know that you every now and then need this kind of information in advance: electricity in Austria is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to Austria with a device that does not accept 230...
Talko to someone who knows ...
Jerelis Says: I guess we all agree on this on; there is nothing more exciting than going travelling - exploring another country, experiencing a different culture, travelling around in new ways, sampling the local cuisine and chatting to the local people for a different perspective on...
Jerelis Says: Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the catchy title of the 1992 bestseller by John Gray, succinctly expresses an ancient dilemma. What--if anything--do men's and women's brains do differently?The general statement that men and women respond and behave differently under...
turnip2000 Says: Do not stay in the hostel on the other side of the Danube (away from the Hauptplatz) and it is located in Linz's tallest building. You have to go through a weird parking garage in a gigantic building and the place is full of bizarre carnies. Most Pensionen on the main...
Hauptplatz – All kinds of things to happen.
Jerelis Says: For hundreds of years the Main Square of Linz has been a busy place where all kinds of things happen. Once it was the market place, today it is cultural events, the flea market of curiosities, the Christmas Market and the many sidewalk cafes in the summer that draw people...
Hauptplatz – Dreifaltigkeitssäule.
Jerelis Says: Without a doubt is the Hauptplatz the busy centre of the town and a true tourist trap. But is this a good reason to avoid it and not visit it? No, not at all. You can also put this main square in the tip section "Must see"! And I can also tell you why :) First of all we...
Jerelis Says: On a heavily cloudy day I decided to go the city of Linz, and I was not sorry for that. Funny thing was that at the moment we entered the city the sky opened up and the sun did arrive! The reason why I wanted to go to Linz was rather simple, because it’s the third largest...

Pöstlingbergkirche - Overlooking the city of Linz.
Jerelis Says: The Pöstlingbergkirche perched high above the roofs of the city and is the landmark of the Upper Austrian capital. Because of its unique location it is really worth while to visit the church. After we were finished inside the Pöstlingbergkirche we stepped outside to have a...
Pöstlingbergkirche - Lighting a candle.
Jerelis Says: Although we were quite late when we arrived at the Pöstlingbergkirche we were still allowed to enter it. A huge advantage of our late arrival was the fact that there were almost no tourists at that time. Either the bus / coach did already leave or everybody was having an...
Pöstlingbergkirche - Get there via the Bergbahn.
Jerelis Says: During our walk over the Hauptplatz (main square of Linz) we could not overlook the city landmark the Pöstlingberg Kirche. It is clearly in view right at the top of the Pöstlingberg towering over the city of Linz. We were already triggered on visiting it, but of course there...
