For driving in Linz, Austria, the type of car recommended depends on your specific needs and preferences. Linz is a well-developed city with good infrastructure, so most types of cars are suitable for driving in the city and its surrounding areas. Compact cars are ideal for navigating through narrow streets and finding parking in busy areas. They are fuel-efficient and easy to manoeuvre, making them suitable for city driving. Alternatively, if you prefer a bit more space and higher driving position, a small SUV or crossover can be a good option. They offer practicality and are still easy to handle in urban environments.

The speed limit within urban areas, including Linz city centre and residential areas, is generally 50 km/h. When driving on non-urban roads outside urban areas, the speed limit is typically 100 km/h. However, there may be lower speed limits on certain non-urban roads, especially in areas with more challenging road conditions. It is important to note that speed limit regulations may be subject to change by local authorities, and it is essential to observe the posted speed limit signs.
