The Capital of Culture year will feature events ranging from literary festivals to audio/visual extravaganzas; scientific symposiums to soccer tournaments.
A city located on the banks of the Danube, Linz is already famed for its cultural heritage. Mozart famously created his Symphony No36 to be performed in the city, and this is now known simply as the Linz Symphony. There is a great deal of investment in the arts in this area, with a number of museums, galleries and performance centres to visit.
Sporting Events in Linz
Sports fans might like to pay a visit to the city between May 30 and June 1, 2009, when the Linzer Stadium plays host to the Youth Soccer Cup 2009 (YES09). Admission to this event is free, with eleven youth teams selected from the former and future Capital of Culture cities vying for the YES Cup.
