Your casino in Upper Austria
The Linz region: holidays in the European Capital of Culture 2009
Linz on the Danube has gone through an image change unlike any other Austrian city: the former steel-town is today a centre for arts and media art. The capital of the Upper Austrian province lures with festivals, museums, modern architecture and of course with casino short breaks in Austria.
Linz, the city on the River Danube, has developed into a vibrant cultural town over the last few decades. No other Austrian city has changed as much as Linz. The result is a modern town, which inspires with a lot of green spaces, a varied cultural offering and exceptionally clean air. Linz is a city in which traditional baroque house facades blend well with modern, futuristic architecture. Many new buildings have been developed for the European Capital of Culture 2009 year and harmonise well with the old town centre. At the Austria Trend Hotel Schillerhof, the casino partner hotel in Linz, you can enjoy the blend of modern architecture and historic city style at first hand. For instance during a Dinner & Casino Night or with the Casino Package Fortuna: perfect for a casino short break to the Upper Austrian capital.
Linz: European Capital of Culture 2009 – the home of culture in Austria
Linz is the European Capital of Culture 2009 and the whole city was transformed into a stage for music, theatre, film and art – from classics to modern and electronic media art - Linz is open minded and modern. Linz: a town that offers leisure activities for any taste.
