About Linz

Linz is perhaps one of the least known large cities in Austria. It is the third largest city in the country and is not as mainstream and popular as many other cties for people to go on breaks there, but it is fast becoming more and more well-known because of the simply magnificent attractions and the things that there are to do in the city.

A rather humble and unforgettable experience is taking a trip to the Mauthausen Memorial in Linz. The memorial is in honour of all the people that were murdered in the concentration camp in Mauthausen. You will simply never forget a visit to a place like this, although you may think it is somber and depressing to go visit and hear about the atrocities committed by the Nazis, it really does make you think how lucky you are to have not of been in a camp like this and how far the human race have come from not so long ago when the whole of Europe was being torn apart by the holocaust.

Another highlight of the city of Linz is the Hauptplatz, this beautiful square in the city, who's tranquill surroundings and picturesque architechture, make it wonderful to visit, is full of wonderful, cute and quaint cafes and restaurants in which you can grab a bite to eat. This is a great place to go to really soak up the historical culture of the city.

The city of Linz is very spread out. There are lots of things to do there but many of the attractions are far part, making getting a hire car an essential part of your trip there. A company to help you do this is Rent.it, this takes all the hassle off you, if you book before you get out there, they will book your car for you, so you are ready to explore the wonders of the city.
