Linz on the Danube goes green

Blossom time
The Danube city Linz offers a tapestry of culture, industry and natural attractions. Upper Austria's provincial capital is devoting its cultural calendar entirely to nature in 2011. A wide variety of nature-inspired events, above all the Provincial Garden Show in Ansfelden, with its musical theme of "Symphony in Green", are bringing a riot of colour to the events calendar. Or just relax in the Botanical Gardens and countless beautiful parks and meadows along the Danube and Traun rivers. Installations in museums and public places add to the green theme of a cultural programme, which features a total of 34 exhibitions in 12 different venues.
