But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

Austria's most prominent national symbol, this magnificent cathedral is known for its intricately tiled roof and its nearly 500-foot-tall South Tower, which provides amazing views of the entire city.

The cathedral is beautiful - very grand and ornate with beautiful mouldings and gothic architecture. The detail in the carvings was extraordinary and the paintings were very beautiful. There are certain parts of the cathedral which are blocked off (the entire mid and front section) which does make the back part quite cramped with lots of people taking photographs. Be patient and you will get your turn! I’d recommend the catacombs tour (6 Euros each) - it was very interesting and the tour guide was extremely knowledgable, offering the tour in both German and English.

This beautiful little church is just a few minutes walk from St Stephens Cathedral and well worth a visit. A note to anyone visiting, please respect that this is a place of worship. When we visited, there was a mass in progress and we were appalled that people (other tourists) were just walking in and talking loudly and taking photos and videos whilst the mass was in progress, even though there were plenty of signs asking you not to do this. The mass is not that long and if you are generally interested in the history and beauty of this church, it is worth waiting until the mass is finished, then you are able to explore and take photos to your hearts content.

Architecture and its furnishings - two organs, magnificent altar, magnificent pulpit, remarkable glass windows, etc. - it is rightly a wonderful landmark of the city of Linz. As it is sizewise the largest Gothic church in Austria, even bigger than the Stephansdom in Vienna, a definite must see. And take a while to enjoy the magnitude.

This is an amazing basilica! No need for any of publicity from the Sound of Music. However I believe this was featured in the movie! A great place to light a candle and say some prayers! Will definitely return here the next time we visit the area. Loved the religious piety shop! We acquired some Holy Water!
