I grew up nearby. It's a beautiful, small city in the middle of the Alps. Suitable for Summer and Winter holiday. Check out the restaurants outside of the city e.g., Im Stadl, Hollunderhof or Hotel Tristachersee.

Pretty town. I enjoyed the weekend market and the alpine coaster. The highlight was the castle and its amazing art galleries and museum. You can find anything you need in the village in terms of shops and there are endless great walks to do in the mountains or along the Isel River. But you might run out of things to do. The town itself is for eating and shopping. The free audio walking tour was not great. I stayed in a spa hotel during a fall snowstorm so I walked in the mornings and used the wellness areas in the afternoon. I went out to the Aguntum, the site of an ancient Roman village. The archeology site is not that exciting given that there's a highway running through it but the museum was interesting and the man working there sat and talked with me as there were only two other people who showed up that day (it was off season). Having a staff member explain the history of the place was interseting.

Lienz is a beautiful spot, a bit off the path that most American travelers visit. Don’t spend all your time in the bigger cities and busy sights. Austria is full of small town gems and amazing countryside.

Lienz is a beautiful small town with several good restaurants, a pleasant downtown and an outstanding location. There is not a lot of international tourism, which is a releif. We were there to hike, and since the weather was quite unsettled, it was very helpful be in a location that accessed several different ranges. We found that the weather north of the Hohe Tauern (about 45 min north) was often quite different from Lienz itself (and the Lienzer Dolomiten), and yet different again from Italy in the vicinity of Cortina (60-90 min south). This provided many opportunities to optimize the hike-weather combination and to try different foods.

It’s the perfect little city to use as a base for exploring this area is eastern Tyrall. Call there’s plenty to do here in any season. In the winter there is skiing, paragliding, cross-country skiing, walking through the beautiful valley. In the summer there is rafting, mountaineering, lots of hiking and other outdoor activities. The people are really wonderful and friendly and there are many other places to visit nearby. Just beautiful scenery everywhere you look!!! We found numerous delicious restaurants including Kirchenwirt and Adler Stube. We also absolutely loved the café at the top of Zettersfeld… The ski area. It was so cozy and cute and the scenery was just stunning 360° views of the Alps. Great food. We went to paragliding with the Bruno Girstmair Flight school. Incredible experience. Flying above the alps. Words cannot even describe it

Small and quiet Tirolean city for those who love skiing and winter time. With a car, you can have access to all types of winter fun and more. In close proximity, you have other cities and attractions. The city itself offers a lot of quality cuisine and sightseeing.
