About Linz
Linz is the standard departure point for an excursion to Salzburg, ninety minutes south by coach, where the Mozart birthplace, the Mirabell gardens and the hilltop Hohensalzburg fortress make up the day's tour. Other operators substitute a visit to the Cesky Krumlov UNESCO town in the southern Czech Republic. Linz itself has a baroque main square, the Lentos contemporary art museum on the river bank and the Pöstlingberg hilltop reached by Europe's steepest adhesion railway.
