River Cruises Collection: Walking tour of Linz

You’ll pound the pavements of Linz today, as you’re guided around the city’s sights on a walking tour. You can stare up at the Postlingberg – the huge hill that watches over the metropolis – as you make your way towards the river. Here, two futuristic museums are shining examples of Linz’s architectural prowess. The glass-panelled and LED-dotted Ars Electronica and the Lentos Art Museum both illuminate the waterfront after dark. Next, you’ll take in Linz’s past with a visit to the Trinity Column in the main square. This Baroque sculpture, carved out of white marble, is meant to represent the guilds, the emperor and the local people. Nearby, you’ll stroll past the house where Mozart composed the Linz Symphony and Linz Sonata in the 16th century. And you’ll wrap up your 90-minute tour at the New Cathedral, where you can head inside for a look at the spectacular stained glass windows.
