Donau Stein Design
Set within the old Atelier Almesberger, Danube Stone Design creates little works of wearable art from stones found along the river's shore.
Linz is a good place to shop; prices are generally lower than those in resorts and the larger cities, and selections are varied. The major shops are found in the main square and the adjoining side streets, in the old quarter to the west of the main square, in the pedestrian zone of the Landstrasse and its side streets, and in the Hauptstrasse of Urfahr, over the Nibelungen Bridge across the Danube. A helpful list of boutique shops can be found on the Linz Labyrinth website (www.linzlabyrinth.at).

This is a good option for local handmade goods and good-quality souvenirs. You'll find silver, pewter, ceramics, fabrics, and some clothing.
This quirky little Hauptplatz store, part of a small chain operating throughout Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, gives over its shelves (well, its stacked fruit crates) to a variety of small local producers. The handicrafts for sale are forever changing, but there's always something worth popping in for.
