Up the Landstraße, from the Volksgarten to the main square

What is life like on the axis half of Linz moves along?

The Landstraße is Linz in one line: at the bottom the music theatre by the Volksgarten and the rough station quarter, then department stores, café terraces and trams by the minute, at the top the Taubenmarkt and the baroque main square. Walk this axis and you have crossed the city from arriving to strolling.

Who this walk is for

For anyone set on central, car-free living: on and beside the Landstraße everything is walkable. The walk shows honestly how loud the axis itself is, and how quickly the side lanes fall silent.

Good to know

The Landstraße stays busy late, and around its lower stretch the station quarter shows its rough side too. Quiet living means moving one lane off the axis.
