Linz

Two-day city break in Austria's Linz with one night hotel stay.

Illustration of Linz

Railtour Suisse's two-day city break brings you to Linz, Austria, a working city on the Danube that lives without artificial attractions or staged spots. You arrive by rail and spend one night in a four-star hotel, leaving days to explore on foot at your own pace. Wander the old town and future districts, discover cafés and fashion stores, walk along the Danube, and find moments where curiosity rewards you. The voestalpine steel world opens a view into ore-to-steel manufacturing; the Botanical Garden holds over ten thousand plant species and a vast cactus collection; the former Tobacco Factory, now a centre for creative industries and start-ups, hosts restaurants and shops. Throughout the year, festivals transform the inner city. This package suits couples and independent explorers who prefer to drift and discover rather than follow a fixed route.

  • The package includes no day-by-day itinerary. Confirm the arrival and departure times and what is included beyond the hotel and rail travel.
  • The voestalpine steel world was still under renovation at the time this pack was prepared; verify it has reopened before booking.
