One of the most popular methods of exploring Linz in Austria is to use the city’s funicular railway which rises to two hundred and fifty metres in just fifteen minutes! This popular tourist attraction dates from 1898 and will take you top the top of Postlingberg Hill where you can enjoy stunning panoramas and vistas of the whole area.
Spending time in the city’s Zoo or investigating the many different and exotic plant species in Europe's most impressive Botanical Gardens is another option that both young and old can enjoy and should not miss out on. If the weather is dry and bright then why not “choose to take a cruise” along the famous River Danube, where you will be able to relax and enjoy the many river front attractions and public parks that are located between the Brucknerhaus and the Lentos Museum of Modern Art.

There are plenty of transportation methods that you can use to sightsee and many visitors make use of the bright yellow 'City Express' road train to help find their way around the main tourist attractions of the area. Riding on this facility will also give you free trips on the Postlingberg tram as well as free admittance to many other local museums.
The main square is perhaps one of the most charming grand squares in the whole of central Europe. Right in the middle is the twenty metre high baroque Trinity Column which has become a symbolic landmark of the city. The Provincial Museum of Upper Austria which is in Linz Castle is also a very exciting place to see, as it vividly documents the countries history by exhibiting many different types of artefacts from the medieval period. Remember as well to visit the old part of the town, as it is full of old quaint lanes, original chapter houses and splendid town residences that literally transport you back to a different era.
The climate of Linz is best described as temperate, which makes it popular in the winter season as well, as the weather usually stays quite mild. However most visitors usually start arriving in May, when the temperatures rise and the days start to lengthen.
