Question 2

Is Linz walkable?

Accepted Answer

Linz is walkable. The Old Town, Hauptplatz, the Danube promenade, Lentos Kunstmuseum and the Ars Electronica Center are close together. Pöstlingberg is uphill and farther.

Trams 1 and 2 run along Landstraße between the Hauptbahnhof and Hauptplatz, and the Pöstlingbergbahn line 50 climbs directly to Pöstlingberg for city views.

For comfortable outings to places like St. Florian Abbey or the countryside, a private tour in Linz with private transportation is a good choice.
