About Linz

Linz is Austria’s third-largest city, with around 210,000 inhabitants, and the capital of Upper Austria. Long known as an industrial hub on the Danube — home to the voestalpine steelworks — it has reinvented itself as a UNESCO City of Media Arts, with the Ars Electronica Center and the Lentos art museum at the heart of a lively cultural scene.

Neighbourhoods in Linz

The Innere Stadt around the grand Hauptplatz is the centre. Across the Danube, Urfahr climbs towards the Pöstlingberg and its hilltop basilica; residential areas such as Froschberg and Bulgariplatz offer quieter living within easy reach of the core.

Living in Linz

Linz pairs a strong economy and well-paid jobs with shorter commutes and lower rents than Vienna or Salzburg. The riverside has been opened up for walking and cycling, the cultural calendar is busy year-round, and the Mühlviertel hills are right on the doorstep — practical and increasingly likeable.
