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!!
