Linz Airport to Linz: Route and Drive Time
Linz Airport is at Hörsching, 13 km south-west of the city centre. It lies close to both the A1 motorway and the B1 through road, and the car comes into Linz on one of them; the drive usually takes 15–25 minutes.
How long it takes depends above all on where in Linz you are going. The Design Center, just south of the Landstraße, and the hotels around the Hauptplatz are the nearer addresses. The Tabakfabrik sits further east, between the old town and the industrial area, and the voestalpine works stretch along the Danube on the far side of the centre from the airport, so a plant visit is the longest of the short runs.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Add the address to the booking, and for the works, the gate or building you are expected at: the site is large, and the right entrance saves a detour.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at Linz Airport
Linz is a small airport with a simple layout. There is one passenger terminal, with arrivals and check-in on the ground floor and the gates upstairs, so every scheduled flight ends at the same arrivals area and the same exit.
For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.
Business jets and chartered flights are handled differently. They clear through the General Aviation Centre, a separate building with its own check-in and customs, so if a customer or a management team is flying in privately for a plant visit, say so when you book, and the chauffeur meets you at the aviation centre rather than at the terminal.
The airport is growing quickly: it handled around 262,000 passengers in 2025, up 45 per cent on 2024.
Arriving at Your Address in Linz
Central Linz is compact, but parts of it are closed to cars. The Landstraße, the main shopping street, is pedestrianised over 1.3 km, running from the Hauptplatz as far as the Musiktheater, and the Hauptplatz itself is car-free except for taxis. A hotel on or just off the square may therefore mean a set-down at the nearest street a car can use.
Business addresses are mostly outside that core. The Design Center, south of the Landstraße, takes congresses and trade fairs; the Tabakfabrik, a former tobacco factory, now houses more than 250 companies and start-ups; and the voestalpine works line the river to the east. Each has its own entrance, and each is an easy drop-off by car.
Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.
From Linz Back to Linz Airport
Leaving Linz, the useful thing to know is how long the road takes, not when to leave: 15–25 minutes from the centre to Hörsching, longer in heavy traffic. The pickup time you choose is confirmed with the reservation.
The drop-off is easy to get right, because there is only one passenger terminal. From the voestalpine side of the city the run is longer than from the Hauptplatz, so after a meeting at the works choose the pickup with that in mind. During the Ars Electronica week in September many festival guests leave on the same days; book the return early.
If your flight home leaves from Vienna, not Linz, the airport there is 210 km away, 2 hours 20 minutes to 3 hours 10 minutes on the A1. That is a separate transfer from your Linz address, and a longer one.
