Extend an Invitation to the Capital of Culture – Make the Capital of Culture Year One Big Celebration!
Lots of Great Reasons:• Unlike some other places (such as Vienna, for instance), Linz really is located astride the Danube. Whether you take your guests for a leisurely stroll along the riverbank downtown or on the Urfahr side, whether you visit the new Hafenhalle09, the Lentos or the spectacular new AEC, there are plenty of highlights along the beautiful blue Danube in Linz.
• Linz by night—from the recently reopened Stadtkeller (retro, baby, retro) to the Grand Hotel zum Rothen Krebsen (gold wallpaper! funky music!) and the OK Center for Contemporary Art. We’re dancing again in Linz!
• If you don’t spend at least one night in Pixelhotel, you’ve really missed something! At dizzying heights, aboard ship, in a former working-class garden apartment, or a gallery—these are definitely not your typical cookie-cutter hotel rooms! You’ll sleep great and you’re in for some real local color when it’s time for cocktails or breakfast.
• Linz is goiing crazy! THE ILL RABBIT has checked out of his trackside sickbed along Pöstlingberg’s Grotto Railway and is hippity-hopping about town from one offbeat, flipped-out project to the next in Linz’s streets, squares and parks.
• Beginning in late May, Linz will be seized by HIGH-ALTITUDE EUPHORIA. This isn’t just a matter of great panoramic views of the Capital of Culture cityscape; the installations that make up this art extravaganza will have you seeing things from a radically different perspective. In comparison, the breathtaking experience of traversing roof-to-roof catwalks seems almost incidental.
• Hubert von Goisern cordially invites you to Hafenfest July 3-5 at Linz Harbor with a star-studded lineup including Konstantin Wecker, Haindling, Willi Resetarits and BAP. There’ll be music from Eastern and Western Europe—one big cruise along the Danube, you might say. You and your guests definitely don’t want miss this show!
