The best shopping in Linz isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Ars Electronica Center and Hauptplatz are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Postlingbergbahn — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
A Danube city reinvented as a hub of digital art and technology, with a baroque old town and a vibrant cultural scene.
