Hotels near Linz Airport
Historic centre and Hauptplatz
Bus 601 from the Hauptbahnhof, one departure an hour from Monday to Saturday, about a 19-20 minute journey, single ticket €3.40. Outside these hours, taxi in about 15-20 minutes.
Best for: Those who want Linz's main square and the Danube riverside just steps away, with a transfer that still stays under half an hour.
- Hauptplatz and the Danube riverside are the heart of the city, with restaurants and walks just steps from the hotels
- The transfer stays under half an hour even in the worst case, despite the greater distance compared with the other Austrian airports
- Bus 601 runs only once an hour: those arriving or leaving outside these times must arrange a taxi
- Since it's the airport furthest from the centre of the five, there's no point staying near the runway even for a dawn flight
