Linz private walking tour: Exclusive small group tour with Linzer cake tasting

Join our Linz private walking tour for an exclusive, small-group way to explore one of Austria’s most underrated cities. Limited to a maximum of 9 people, this 2-hour tour combines the historic center of Linz with a stop for the city’s most famous export: the Linzer Torte.

Exploring the City of Linz

We start in Linz’s historic center, right at the Main Square (Hauptplatz), one of the largest and best-preserved squares in Austria, dominated by its Baroque architecture and the towering Trinity Column. From there, we make our way to the Old Cathedral, a Gothic landmark with centuries of history behind it.

As we walk through the old town, your private guide shares the story of Linz — from its long history as a trading and merchant city on the Danube to its more recent reputation as a hub for contemporary art and culture (Linz was European Capital of Culture in 2009 and is home to the Ars Electronica Center). This private walking tour Linz experience is designed to feel personal: your guide adapts the pace and focus to your group’s interests.

Linzer Torte Tasting

No visit to Linz is complete without tasting the Linzer Torte — a pastry made with ground almonds, raspberry jam and a buttery, lattice-topped crust, said to be one of the oldest named cakes in the world. We’ll stop at a traditional coffee house so you can try it the way it’s meant to be enjoyed: with a good cup of coffee and time to relax.
