Linz Transportation Tips by antistar Top 5 Page for this destination

Linz Station

Linz is located about halfway along the Salzburg to Vienna line, and it takes just over an hour to get to either of these destinations, if you don't want to hang around. Also a short train journey away is the tiny town of Melk, which hosts the majestic Benedictine monastery that featured in Uberto Eco's book, the Name of the Rose. You can book the tickets in the helpful, English speaking office in the station, or use the link below to the German rail travel service, which allows you to book many Austrian tickets online.

Ryan Air

Linz can be reached very cheaply from the UK by plane from London Stansted. An OB bus runs from just outside the airport every hour, and one leaves just after the afternoon plane arrives. If you are a little late arriving, or customs holds you up a few minutes too long, there will be another along in a while. You can also ask at the info desk for a free shuttle bus to the nearby train station, which is on the Linz - Wels line. Trains run regularly to either destination, where you can get connecting trains to places further afield. Linz is also not far from the airport, so a taxi shouldn't cost you too much either.
