St. Mary's Cathedral is the largest church in Austria. It is a Gothic-style church very close to the central square. Its feature is the stained glass windows. The interior space is large enough to accommodate many people for worship, and there is also a large organ inside.

When the weather is nice, you can go for a walk. The Danube River and the shopping street in the city center are on the same block. You can also buy a ticket to the mountain at the light rail station in the square, go to the top of the mountain to see the scenery, eat delicious food, and enjoy it comfortably!

🌿 Linz Botanical Garden is a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city, perfect for nature lovers and photographers. Spread over several hectares, it showcases more than 10,000 plant species from around the world. The themed gardens — including alpine, tropical, and cactus houses — are beautifully maintained and educational. In spring and summer, the colorful flowerbeds and butterflies make it especially enchanting. The greenhouses offer warmth and exotic beauty even in winter. It’s an ideal place for a quiet walk, family outing, or simply to relax and connect with nature. Truly one of Linz’s hidden gems! 🌸
