The capital of Oberösterreich (Upper Austria) is an attractive town with a Baroque centre, situated on the banks of the Danube. Having been the original site of a Roman castle and settlement, Linz became and remains the largest port city of the Danube and one of the country's leading cultural centers. The city's beautiful landscape is blended with a bustling industrial and port economy.
During my vacation in south Bavaria I spent one day with a friend in Linz. We just had a few hours to walk around and explore the city highlights. Next time I would like to do a river cruise.
