Are the Viennese going crazy? Discover Austria’s hidden capital of industrial art

As soon as I posted a photo of Linz on my Moments, I was asked about my location! This is a hidden treasure that you can’t even find in Chinese guides! It actually contains the same romance as "Before Sunrise"! Even the local barista is asking for tips [Askance]👇 📍Enter the old town of Linz, where medieval movies were shot Around the corner of a Baroque church, you'll come across the most magical window display in Austria. The century-old pharmacy uses test tubes to store coffee, and the blacksmith shop is transformed into a steampunk bookstore! The point is that any photo taken with an iPhone will have the style of "The Grand Budapest Hotel"! (ps. At 3 pm when the sun shines obliquely on the cobblestone road, the output rate increases by 200%) 🎨The Ars Electronica Museum of the Future that Subverts Cognition The five-story science and technology art park made my pupils tremble! In 2025, a new AI gallery will open to peek at your brain waves as you paint. The cyber blockbuster filmed in the quantum tunnel was immediately praised by the friends circle. (⚠️Wednesday night tickets are half price! The official website will lock in the immersive theater spots in advance) 🍞The secret experience that locals have kept for 30 years: There is a Viking Cruises exclusive bakery hidden on the Danube River! Put on an apron and knead the rye dough, and the old grandfather will teach you how to bake it in the traditional kiln. The house is filled with the alluring aroma of wheat as soon as it comes out of the oven (if you are caught secretly packing, you will be given jam 😭) 🚢 Danube private perspective: A classic cruise ship that avoids crowds of tourists! Go to the Urfahr district pier and take the century-old ferry Fähre! Spend 2.3 euros to enjoy the entire river sunset! The LED exterior wall of the Museum of Modern Art on the other side of the strait just lit up with a flowing waterfall of light! ⚠️Blood and tears lessons: 1️⃣ All stores in the city are closed on Sunday! Even supermarkets are taking a break. 2️⃣ The tram ticket machines only accept coins, so be prepared with a coin bag to save your life. 3️⃣ Never wear white shoes! The old city's gravel roads are a killer for light-colored shoes. 💡2025 exclusive information: 1️⃣ A new direct bus service between Linz and CK town has been opened, shortening the journey time to 1.5 hours! 2️⃣ During the Industrial Biennale in July, abandoned factories were transformed into installation art galleries! 3️⃣ An antique film camera market will be opened in Central Square on Thursday! Finale Easter Egg: After the Linz Castle Observation Deck closed, Go around to the wild path next to the west fire escape. The lights of the whole city are like an overturned jewel box. Maybe even the filming location of "Love Is Here" doesn't have this perspective! On the way back, I heard the Viking Cruises steward say: Linz is a love letter to slow travelers. Here, industrial hardcore genes, future technological ideas and the romance in Europe's bones are boiled into a unique soup. The key point is that there are so few Asian faces that they are treated like rare creatures! I am checking the air tickets and preparing to take my parents to watch it again🤫
