The city of Linz is home to a vibrant music and arts scene, seamlessly blending traditional and contemporary arts.
Linz is a little bit different. This “City of Smart Tourism” has historic beauty aplenty: its expansive main square – located right by the Danube, and one of the largest in Central Europe – and its quaint Old Town have a relaxed and authentic feel.
But Linz is also defined by a constant desire for change and innovation. Once primarily an industrial centre, Linz has become a pioneer when it comes to culture, art, and technology. Home to a harbour that doubles as one of Europe’s biggest graffiti galleries and the cutting-edge art-slash-technology museum Ars Electronica Center, Linz is a destination for travellers looking for the unfamiliar.
Winding its way through the attics and over the roofs of Linz' city centre, the "Höhenrausch" is a one-of-a-kind art exhibition/walking path. One highlight is a tall, wooden tower providing amazing 360-degree city views - climbing the 160 steps is worth it!
In addition, you'll see works by a wide variety of artists as you wander along the wooden pathway, many of them interactive. You might, for instance, see an artificial flock of birds, a growing artwork made of artificial fertilizer, and fans ecstatically singing Madonna songs.
