Linz is Austria’s third largest city in the Danube Valley region and despite its size, it attracts fewer tourists than the more famed Vienna or Salzburg.

Linz is famous for several historical figures.  Adolf Hitler grew up here, the astronomer Johanne Kepler lived here and it was also home to the famous composer Anton Bruckner.

There are many sightseeing attractions, some of which are listed below:

The baroque Benedictine Abbey that dominates the town

The city’s fountain, showing the five planets known at the time of Johanne Kepler’s death

The steepest mountain railway in Europe

The Schlossmuseum

The small, 8th century Martisnkirche church, the oldest in Austria

The 18th century Postlingberg church, 1,600 feet up a hill

The Holy Trinity column

and many, many more

If you are looking for a city break with a difference, why not try Linz?
