About this venue
Raiffeisen Arena is Linz’s modern home of big-match energy: a football stadium opened in 2023, defined by a bevelled metal shell that reduces the roof’s visual height while helping keep light and sound where they belong—inside the bowl. With a total capacity of 19,080 seats, it’s designed to keep fans close to the pitch and to amplify the atmosphere across every stand.
Inside, the experience is built for comfort and flow: clear wayfinding, fast entry routines, and a lively pre-match forecourt where the fan zone adds food-and-drink options before and after the event. The steep, compact seating geometry helps the crowd noise carry, making the venue equally compelling for high-stakes fixtures and special event nights.
You’ll find it at Ziegeleistraße 76, Linz, Austria. Access is organised via the stadium forecourt, and on event days the venue uses 8 entrances (E1–E8) to distribute queues by sector. The nearest stop is Stadion, just a short walk to the turnstiles. For the broader “getting around Linz” overview, see the city section further down the page.
About the city
Linz, a Danube-side city and one of Upper Austria’s key hubs, attracts visitors who want to combine top-tier entertainment and major events with an easy, walkable city rhythm. Whether you’re coming for sport or a concert, Linz stands out for its clear layout, modern offering, and an atmosphere that makes it simple to plan the whole night out—from arrival to the final chord or the referee’s last whistle. Beyond arenas and stadiums, the city delivers a varied food scene and accommodation for different budgets, so a weekend trip or short city break fits neatly into your plan.
Getting around is especially convenient thanks to the reliable LINZ AG LINIEN network (trams and buses) and regional connections via OÖVV, which help you reach the main spots without hassle. If you arrive by train, Linz Hauptbahnhof is a strong transport hub with easy transfers to city services, while flying in is straightforward via Flughafen Linz (Linz Airport). With well-structured lines and logical routes, reaching arenas, stadiums, and larger venues is usually fast and predictable—and the Pöstlingbergbahn adds a distinctly local touch as a recognizable part of the city’s transport system.
If you’re coming for an event, Linz also offers a great sightseeing bonus: stroll through Hauptplatz and the old town, take a walk along the Danube and Donaupark, or drop by the Ars Electronica Center and Lentos Kunstmuseum for a hit of contemporary culture. For panoramic views and a calmer break, heading up to Pöstlingberg rounds out the city experience—perfect before the show or as a relaxed finale after the event.
