The Linz Marathon inspires not only with its athletic challenge, but also with the route through the modern city. Runners enjoy the view of the Danube, pass Linz's cultural mile with striking buildings such as the Brucknerhaus, the Lentos Art Museum and the Ars Electronica Center, and finish their run brilliantly on Linz's baroque main square.
Those who take more time will discover a place away from frills and clichés around the sporting event that will surprise you: Linz is big enough for a varied cultural life, for culinary delights and for diverse shopping pleasures. At the same time, the Upper Austrian city on the Danube is small enough for wild nature and encounters with people that will be long remembered. Here, athletes enjoy a break in an atmosphere that spreads lightness. But there are also experiences and activities that fill the days surrounding the Linz Marathon: Good food, of course, a visit to the nice little stores in the city center, a coffee on the main square or in the old town. An evening at the theater and a look at a museum, or better two. A short vacation in Linz can be so varied!
