Want to know what the sex scene is like in Linz? What adult entertainment there is in the city?
Linz sits on the picturesque river Danube and, as well as being an important economic hub and seat of higher learning, is a hot spot for tourism for the region. As a result, this Austrian city has to cater for commuters, residents, students, business visitors as well as tourists. This diverse mix of clientele can find a wide variety of entertainments on offer including bars, clubs and restaurants as well as historical and cultural treats. And, because Austria is one of only eight European countries where the sex industry is fully regulated and legalised, Linz can also offer sex.
In this guide, we find out just what makes Linz such a hot spot for adults once the sun goes down; from brothels to strip clubs, laufhauses to sex saunas and some other alternatives you might not have considered.

Prostitution in Linz
Prostitution in Austria is a fully legal and regulated industry employing more than 10,000 sex workers, most of whom are from the former Eastern bloc region (Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria).
Though there are only a few hundred registered prostitutes in Linz, there are estimated to be more than double this with illegal migrants plying their trade through street prostitution or using online advertising.
Linz is Austria’s third largest city and has a population of just 200,000 people, around 200 of whom are registered as professional sex workers; that’s one hooker per 1000 people.
Legal workers from within the EU mainly find employment as brothel hostesses, escorts and masseuses. Most are independent and their earnings from sexual services are distinct from those charged by the house.
You can find prostitutes on the street (see Street Prostitution, below) or at any of the venues we’ve indicated below that provide full service. Alternatively, you can book an outcall service at your hotel by using one of the escort directories or agencies below.

Sex in Linz
Just like in other Austrian cities, the venues for obtaining full service are quite varied and you can find strip clubs offering full contact, brothels that have strip shows and sex clubs that are swinging venues. We’ve tried to categorise the adult entertainment but just be aware that most places may offer more than you first expect.
Brothels
Pascha
Flügelhofgasse 12, 4020 Linz
Pascha is a well-known brothel in Linz and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The venue is one of three brothels run by the same company in Austria, the others being in Vienna and Salzburg. All of the bordellos share a reputation for a warm welcome and in providing good service.
The place is small but inviting and there is a cosy and comfortable bar where you can spend some time with the girls before making your selection and retiring to a private room.
Prices vary depending on what you want and must be discussed with girls directly. You can expect to pay between €100 and €150 for a 30 minute service.
Moulin Rouge
Wiener Strasse 217, 4020 Linz
The Moulin Rouge typifies our opening statement about adult venues in Austria and is both a brothel and nightclub but also a daybar offering strip dancing.
The club is small but welcoming and it can be a little too intimate for some punters who prefer anonymity and privacy but locals seem to like the set up. The bar has podiums and poles for dancers and there are several private rooms for getting serviced in. They are basic but functional and always clean.
The club is open as follows:
- Monday to Saturday: 12.00pm to 6.00am
- Sunday: 9.00pm to 6.00am
Rendez-Vous
Rudolfstrasse 95, 4040 Linz
Nightclub Rendez-Vous also offers more than just a bordello experience with a large contact bar to entertain guests. However, this is more than just a contact bar and the rooms here are well put together with elegantly styled spa baths and large comfortable beds. There are also some basic rooms and you get what you pay for.
Rates must be negotiated with your chosen lady with a room fee usually being charged by the house on top.
Laufhauses
These running houses are often coupled with nightclubs (or Kontakt bars). Arranged like a series of single occupancy rooms, laufhouses are similar to the one-woman brothels you might find in Hong Kong. Independent prostitutes rent rooms and indicate that they are available for business by either leaving the door open or illuminating a green light above their door. Many will allow you to wander the corridors whilst some have a central bar or lobby where you can choose in advance (much like a brothel). Some houses charge an entrance fee.
There is quite an assortment of running houses in Linz and you can expect to pay anything from €50 for a quick service or from €100-€150 per hour.
- Mimi, Rudolfstraße 89, 4040 Linz
- Herzl Bar, Paschinger Str. 74, 4060 Leonding
- Strachgasse, Strachgasse 5, 4020 Linz
- Laufhof Linz, Ignaz Mayerstrasse 8, 4020 Linz

Most of Austria’s swinging clubs are in Vienna but there are several clubs around the country, some of which allow guests to play.
If you have access to a car then you can find WS Club Pattaya about an hour’s drive to the south west of Linz in Gampern. The club is open Tuesday to Sunday from 7.00pm onwards and is open to couples and singles.
Likewise, 60km to the east you can find Caribik, Europe’s largest and most ‘visionary’ swinger club. The website has details of all the events, opening times and admission prices.

The club is open from midday until 6.00am.
Dolce Vita
Linzerstraße 56a (gegenüber Jet-Tankstelle), Freistadt 4240
A lounge bar club, Dolce Vita is a little dated in style and is more like a brothel with contact bar. Though there is strip entertainment to keep visitors occupied there is little doubt that most punters are there for one thing only. As a result, the ambience can be a little flat on occasions but the girls are willing.
Rooms are basic but serviceable but it is the girls you come (and stay) for. Representing quite a few nationalities, there is a good selection of ladies here and you can stay for a few drinks and a bit of entertainment to decide without any obligation.
Rates are good here but must be negotiated with the individual ladies.
Night Fight
Wiener Bundesstraße 176, 4050 Traun
Night Flight is situated about a 20 minute drive south west of Linz in the city of Traun.
Offering a bordello service combined with a day bar, night club and offering striptease dance entertainment the Night Flight is a modern club which attracts a young crowd.
