A guide in historical costume leads you through the old town of Linz, and the children slip into the roles of historical figures themselves. History becomes an adventure they will remember.
On the StadtLux costumed tour, children do not just listen, they join in. Your guide appears dressed as in centuries past, hands out roles, sets riddles and lets the group act out little scenes of everyday life in old Linz.
The route leads from the main square with its Trinity Column through the old town to the castle and the Landhaus, where Johannes Kepler once taught. Along the way the children meet emperors, citizens and craftsmen and find out why Linz on the Danube was so important.
All tours are led by state-licensed Austria Guides with additional training in theatre and experiential education. We adapt content and language to age and school level and, on request, to the curriculum. The price is per group, for example one school class with accompanying adults.
