Explore Linz live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Altstadt is worth asking about: the old town around Hauptplatz and the two cathedrals.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

What a live session shows

  • Hauptplatz One of the largest enclosed medieval squares in Austria, centred on a Holy Trinity column raised after a plague.
  • Nibelungenbrücke The bridge linking Linz's two banks, rebuilt after the original was destroyed in 1945.
  • Alter Dom (Old Cathedral) A Baroque church where composer Anton Bruckner served as organist for over a decade.
  • Neuer Dom (Mariendom) The largest church in Austria by volume, its spire built deliberately lower than Vienna's cathedral out of respect.
  • Linz Castle (Schlossmuseum) A former Habsburg residence overlooking the Danube, rebuilt after a fire and now a regional museum.
  • Kepler House The house near the old town where Johannes Kepler lived while working out part of his laws of planetary motion.
  • Ars Electronica Center A digital and future-art museum on the Danube's north bank, its glass facade lit in changing colours at night.

Good to know about Linz

Do I need to be in Linz to join a session?

How long does a session last?

Between 0.5 and 1.5 hours, depending on the guide and the topic.

Guides here offer German and English; pick the one you want when you book.

What if I lose connection partway through?

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up.

Can I ask the guide anything, or is it a fixed script?

Anything. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
