Linz
Tourist information, pictures, and hotels for Linz, Austria
 Like most cities of Austria, the city of Linz is based on the Roman expansion to the North. The bending of the River Danube made this territory a strategic point and a small castle fortified it.
With the industrialisation of the early 19th century Linz grew more and more into an industrial city, which made it an aim for above average air raids during World War II. In 1966 it became a university city with the construction of the Johannes Kepler University. Nowadays Linz is the second largest city in Austria and a very important location for industry. It is home to approximately 200.000 people and host to the annual Bruckner Festival and the Ars Electronica, a fair dedicated to technology and contemporary electronic art. | |
