Week 9: Prejudices | A Visit to the Step-Child City

My Mum and I spent the weekend in Linz, Austria's third-largest city. With the exception of a few business trips this was only my second visit and I really enjoyed it. Friendly people, great museums, nice shopportunities and cafés as well as a good concert we attended on Saturday night at Bruckner Haus. Interestingly, when you tell an Austrian who is not from Linz or the surrounding province that you are planning to spend a weekend there, you invariably get a puzzled look or the question whether you are visiting relatives. Unlike Vienna, Salzburg, or Graz, Klagenfurt even, this is not a city you tend to pick for a weekend-break. You definitely should, though!
