The city of Linz, first mentioned in a document in 799, owes an early economic boom as an important trading center to its location on the Danube. This shaped the appearance and culture of the city. When strolling through the alleys of the spacious old town, it is worth taking a look at the magnificent inner courtyards. Proud town houses tell stories of times gone by. In contrast, the spacious, baroque main square with the imposing Holy Trinity Column. During Advent, nativity scenes in shop windows, churches and other freely accessible places put visitors in a Christmas mood. The Advent offer is completed by the traditional Christmas markets on the main square, in the Volksgarten and charming smaller markets all over the city.
