Linz beckons once more! The unique city on the Danube is famous for creating surprises: the last two big themes - nature and technology, which presented so many interesting and innovative aspects, made Linz much better-known. Now, the city is pricking up its ears: music is Linz’s. Musicals, concerts, opera, festivals and a lively music scene combine to form a colourful mosaic of music. The latest motif is the Musiktheater Linz. 

 

With its love of experiment and changing perspectives, Linz has, aside from technology and science, often enough been a laboratory for inventive musicians and composers. Linz’s appreciation for the great innovators in music, whether Bruckner, Wagner or Philip Glass, has never showed any signs of waning.  One of its leitmotifs spans the period from Wagner to Bruckner, and back again.

 

Central location

 

Linz, the Upper Austrian capital, is centrally situated with excellent infrastructure connections. For already the seventh time in a row, the central railway station has been awarded the title Austria’s most attractive railway station and Blue Danube Airport Linz is very quick to reach. But the Danube is also used for getting to Linz: by ship, by bicycle along the Danube Cycle Path, or on foot on the long-distance Donausteig trail.
