About Linz
Learn more about the host city, Linz.
Linz is the third largest city in Austria. It sits on the banks of the Danube (Donau) river. It is the capital of the federal province of Upper Austria (Oberösterreich) and forms the heart of Austria's second strongest economic region. Though it was primarily known as a major industrial centre, it also has a very picturesque historical old town including Austria's largest central square, surrounded by an impressive ensemble of Baroque architecture.
