[[Linz Airport]] lies about {{convert|14|km|mi|frac=2}} southwest of the town centre, in the municipality of [[Hörsching]]. The airport can be reached easily via federal highways B139 and B1. The bus line 601 connects the airport within 20 minutes with the centre of Linz. There is also a free shuttle service from Hörsching railway station. Direct flights include [[Frankfurt]], [[Düsseldorf]] and Vienna with additional seasonal routes added during the summer and winter months, like for example [[Mallorca]], [[Ibiza]], [[Tenerife]], several Greek islands (like [[Kos]], [[Rhodes]], [[Crete]] or [[Corfu]]) or [[Hurghada]]. [[Ryanair]] also flies to [[London Stansted Airport]].

The city also has a central railway station ({{langx|de|[[Linz Hauptbahnhof|Hauptbahnhof]]}}) on Austria's main rail axis, the [[West railway (Austria)|West railway]], linking Vienna with western Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The Linz central station has been awarded eight times (from 2005 to 2011 and 2014) by Austrian Traffic Club as the most beautiful train station in Austria.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.vcoe.at/projekte/vcoe-bahntest-2014 |title=VCÖ Bahntest 2014 |language=de |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181119010849/https://www.vcoe.at/projekte/vcoe-bahntest-2014 |archive-date=19 November 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
