Record Breaking Relics

Linz is a city of superlatives, and boasts many of Austria’s biggest and best attractions; one of the record-breaking religious relics is the New Cathedral, a modern yet magnificent structure that boasts the title of Austria’s biggest. A grand Gothic façade indicates the majesty within, alluding to stunning stained glass windows and an inner gallery whose spiralling staircase affords excellent city vistas.   

An Outstanding Old Town

Nestled in the heart of Linz’s outstanding Old Town is the Schlossmuseum Linz, a magnificent museum that presents Austria’s largest collection of cultural-historical exhibitions. Exhibitions speak eloquently of the city’s colourful past while also focussing on agricultural and natural heritage.
