Information about Linz

Linz is one of the most useful stops on this Danube river cruise because it refuses to be only pretty. It is a working city: industrial, technological, cultural, and direct. After the Wachau's vineyards and smaller towns, Linz gives the route contrast.

That contrast is valuable. A river is not just a scenic line through old villages. It carries trade, energy, people, industry, and modern life. In Linz, you can walk the old town, look at the Danube as infrastructure, and see a city still actively making itself.
