Landstraße
Linz's main shopping pedestrian street, running about 1 km south from the central square, lined with shops, cafés and churches
Landstraße is Linz's busiest commercial street. It runs from the central square south to the Blumauerplatz area. Most of it is pedestrianized, though trams pass through. Its sides are lined with clothing shops, department stores, bookshops and traditional pastry shops, where you can buy Linzer Torte, said to be the oldest cake recipe in the world. Along the way are the Carmelite church, the Ursuline church and several Baroque mansions. A few steps west takes you to the New Cathedral. Most shops are closed on Sundays.
