Linz Shopping: Where to Shop - Linz, Austria, AT
Central Linz is the best place to go shopping, and in particular, along the busy pedestrianised thoroughfare of the Landstrasse. Located within the Old Town (Altstadt) area of Linz, the Landstrasse has become a busy shopping street, being close to both the Blumauerplatz and Hauptplatz, and on the southern side of the River Danube. During the summer, each week more than 200,000 people shop on the Landstrasse, making this the second busiest shopping street in the whole of Austria, second only to the Mariahilferstrasse in Vienna.

The Landstrasse runs parallel with the Herrenstrasse and these two busy stretches are connected by the Arkade shopping mall, where you will find a mixture of international and local retail outlets, competing side by side. Two further shopping centres are located within the city centre - Passage Linz and the Atrium City Centre, both of which are home to a number of flagship stores and often much-needed coffee shops.
