Arrive feeling relaxed and at ease
By car:
Coming into the city on the A7 motorway, take the "Linz Zentrum" exit. Continue straight on Waldeggstraße (do not turn to the right toward the main train station “Bahnhof”). At the third traffic light, turn to the right into Stockhofstraße. Follow this street until the first traffic light, then turn right into Auerspergstraße. After approximately 150 meters, turn left into Gesellenhausstraße. The entry to our parking garage is located directly on the right side of Gesellenhausstraße. Have a good trip!
By train:
From the main train station, take any of the three tramway lines (direction “Universität” or “Landgutstraße”) until the “Bürgerstraße” stop. Directly opposite the tram stop is the Langgasse. Follow it and turn left into Gesellenhausstraße (three minutes’ walk from the Bürgerstraße stop, ten minutes’ walk from the main train station).
By plane:
From the Blue Danube Airport in Hörsching, take the shuttle bus to the Volksgartenstraße. Walk straight ahead until you get to the Donau Versicherung building, then stay to the right until you reach Gesellenhausstraße.
Or take a taxi from the airport directly to Hotel Kolping in approximately 20 minutes.
