What's great about Linz river cruises?
Much like Budapest, Linz is sliced in half by the Danube River. And Austria’s third-biggest city is a perfect example of half old, half new. It’s got quite the history – composers Mozart and Beethoven both wrote symphonies in the grand city. And it’s easy to see why they stopped by. There’s a stellar collection of extravagant churches, abbeys and Baroque buildings – most of which are handily placed on the fringes of the main square, Hauptplatz. These are matched by ultra-modern museums and art galleries on the riverfront, like the Ars Electronica Center. This place calls itself the Museum of the Future, and lives up to its name with everything from robots to an interactive deep space experience.
