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.
