You really got the essence of Linz right.

Only thing I would add is Stahlwelten, an exhibition of the biggest metal plant in Austria, since Linz is essentially an industrial city and not really a tourist destination.

FYI: k.u.k. actually isn't a name, but more of a description - "kaiserliche und königliche Hofbäckerei" means they used to deliver to the emperor's court in ye olden days. Mostly a good sign that you'll get a certain level of quality.

You guys were definitely like "can we get the week off to go holiday to Linz"
Boss:"no of course not"
Honza"oh ok In other news were going to Linz to do a video"

I have lived in Linz for 7 years and this video brought back a lot of memories. Maybe I should go and film some kind of a best things to do in Linz from an ex-local point of view. Awesome place!

Linz looking like Prague; that everyone decided: what if we cleaned our city!

We actually spent 2 days of our Austria trip in Linz, and it was a great choice. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who's visiting Austria, especially since it's in the middle of the train ride between Vienna and Salzburg anyway.

I personally loved the quick zoo mention. And the train ride if your bringing your kids. I have now added this place to my bucket list. It's super refreshing to see a great clean friendly place that is not swarming with tourists.

Nice vid despite the strange title. Best regards from Linz

Thanks for the tips. Linz Is actually on my travel list. When I lived in Vienna, I came up with a plán to visit all of the provincial capitals in Austria, but so far I've only managed Vienna, Eisenstadt, Graz, and Salzburg.

The most hilarious thing was at the end - german speaking with thick czech pronunciation how lovely is this - I am amazed - thank you Honza :-)

"we dont really want tourismn" - "lets do a tourist guide with these two czechs, they will roast out city to the ground so no one will come ever again!"
....
"Damned..."

I feel like I'm watching a cable TV show. This is so well done! I love the camera work! Stunning work guys!

I'm an atheist, but putting advertisements on a cathedral or a church or any historical/classical building is plain distasteful..

[AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

If you guys ever come to Switzerland, you all should come to Basel.

I know some cool places.

German lesson for Janek:
German: k. u. k. (pronounced kah und kah), short for “kaiserlich und königlich”
English: Imperial and Royal

6:35 The two time champion in bottom right!

[Snowshowslow]

I really loved Linz and Höhenrausch when we stopped there on our Danube cycle tour about ten years ago :)! Good to see it still has a great atmosphere

[mjlife.journeys]
