The best photos of Linz aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Postlingberg will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Postlingbergbahn for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
A Danube city reinvented as a hub of digital art and technology, with a baroque old town and a vibrant cultural scene.
