Linz is the capital of Upper Austria and the country's third-largest city, spread along both banks of the Danube roughly 185 km west of Vienna. Its economy still rests on the voestalpine steelworks on the eastern edge of town, but the city rebranded itself as a technology and culture hub when it served as European Capital of Culture in 2009, with the Ars Electronica Center on the north bank and the Lentos art museum on the south as the visible results. The Johannes Kepler University Linz occupies a lakeside campus in the Auhof district in the north-east of the city, several kilometres from the old town. Above the city, the Pöstlingberg with its pilgrimage church is reached by one of the steepest adhesion tramways in Europe.
The Frankfurt Airport to Linz transfer follows the A3, A8 (AT), A25 (AT), A1 (AT) corridor with consistent journey times of around 5h 40min. Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Linz — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.
