GRAZ
Graz
is a particularly fine example of a central
European urban complex whichexperienced many centuries of Habsburg rule.
The old city is a harmonious blend of the architectural styles and artistic
movements that have succeeded each other since the Middle Ages, together
with cultural influences from the neighbouring regions.
Although Graz is the second largest city in Austria with a million inhabitants,
it is still homely, green and fairly provincial, say some.
The historic centre of the city of Graz reflects artistic and architectural
movements originating from the Germanic region, the Balkans, and the
Mediterranean, for which it served as a crossroads for centuries. The
greatest architects and artists of these different regions expressed
themselves forcefully here and thus created brilliant syntheses.
The city has culture, three universities and a lively bar scene, say
others. In fact, both are right: Graz is bourgeois and cosmopolitan,
idyllic and full of live, traditional and avant-garde.

LINZ
211.021 inhabitants
Linz is not only the 3rd biggest city of Austria but also one of the
most beautiful places to be. Embedded in the picturesque Danube Valley
and surrounded by green rolling hills this city has a very special
flair. While here, you really should go for a stroll through the old
town with its picturesque houses. You can see the castle of Linz high
above the town and the oldest church of Austria, the Martinskirche
church, which is around 1,200 years old.
The location of Linz on the Danube and on the salt road, which ran
from the Salzkammergut to Bohemia,
helped the city to become the number one trading place for salt; today
this vibrant city is well known as center for trade and industry and
for education as well. More than 50% of the city's area is covered
with parks and green spaces and it is in Linz where you find the largest
Danube port of Austria.
Linz hosts the magnificent international Bruckner Festival, which is
a must see event for culture lovers. This festival is together with
the Ars Electronica just one of the many cultural highlights waiting
for you.
