Linz has a lovely botanical garden with various plants and flowers. The Volksgarten is a public park with a lake, playgrounds for children, and sculptures. The Pöstlingberg is a hill near the city offering a superb panoramic view. An old Baroque monastery is also located there.

Every year, there is the Ars Electronica Festival - a festival of art and technology where fascinating installations can be seen. The Bruckner Festival celebrates music with classical concerts. The Linzer Klangwolke turns the whole city into one big outdoor concert venue - music floods the streets, filling every nook and cranny with pulsing beats and melodies.
Linz has a sandy beach along the Danube River - the Danube Beach. It's the ultimate summer hangout spot - a place to splash around and soak up some rays. The Lido Beach is artificial with a lake, water slides and playgrounds. These beaches are ideal for cooling off in summer and having fun.
