Things to do in Linz, no research required

Linz doesn’t perform for visitors, which is exactly why it’s worth the stop. Franz-Josefs-Warte, an old observation tower over the Danube valley, anchors the sightseeing, and Lennox - Bar has built a following big enough to rack up serious numbers on cocktails alone. Start at tiktak café, a breakfast spot with genuine regulars rather than a queue of people who read the same article. From there, work through the historic buildings and green spaces the city maps in near-equal number, an unusually generous ratio for somewhere this size and the reason Linz fills more days than people expect.
