Linz is a vibrant place – busy during the day, plenty of cultural highlights and a great atmosphere in the many bars and restaurants in the evening. The idyllic old alleys leading to the stylish main square are a great contrast to the contemporary art and virtual worlds to be found in the Ars Electronica Centre. The Landestheater, the Brucknerhaus, Lentos und the Design Centre provide a rich background for culture. Linz provides a wonderful infrastructure for the University of Applied Sciences. Linz is the capital of Upper Austria, Austria’s third largest city (pop. 207,000) and in 2009, Linz was the Cultural Capital of the EU.

People in Linz do lots of sports along and on the Danube: running, inline skating, bicycling, rowing, etc. And the Salzkammergut lakes, the hills (’Sound of Music‘), and the Alps are not far, either, so day trips for hiking in the mountains, swimming, sailing, or skiing are no problem whatsever. Linz is also a city of festivals: Ars Electronica Festival, Linzfest, Buskers’ Fest (’Pflasterspektakel‘), Brucknerfest. You can find further information on www.linz.at/english/tourism

Join us for the EAIR Forum in September and experience all that Linz has to offer and more!
