Due musei fantastici: Lentos e Ars Electronica... Architetture futuristiche che si illuminano di notte e passi ore a fissarli (anche da sobrio). Il Lentos è un po' deludente con una mostra che a tratti sembra raffazzonata e buttata lì tanto per, da notare che alcuni quadri hanno vicino oggetti che hanno ispirato in un certo modo l'artista e quindi aiutano a comprendere lo stile e l'opera stessa. Ars Electronica: niente da dire, ancora siete qui? Immancabile, pieno di aggeggi elettronici, esperimenti da provare, robotica varia ed eventuale (povero Telenoid... Lo hanno aggredito). Immancabile a fine agosto inizio settembre il Festival Ars Electronica... Follia allo stato puro...

Linz is situated in the north of Austria approximately 4 hours from Wien by train. It is an industrial city and this is reflected throughout however it is aesthetically pleasing with lovely people and brilliant hostels. However there is not much to do except for their excellent technology museum. The still intact concentration camp a short bus ride away (can no longer remember the name) is a must see! Perched on a hill side it has brilliant views and a chilling atmosphere. Although most of the written information is in German an audio guide is provided free of charge however be warned that they will ask for your passport as security!!
