Lienz is a medieval town in East Tyrol, in the state of Tyrol in Austria. This fairly small city of about 11,800 inhabitants has a well-preserved historic centre and a good number of interesting sights.
Lienz is located at a road junction between the Drautalstraße highway, leading from Carinthia to the Puster Valley in the Italian province of South Tyrol (B100), and the Felbertauernstraße (B108) from Lienz to Mittersill in Salzburg.
It is also connected by the Drautalbahn railway line from Villach to Innichen and Bruneck/Brunico in South Tyrol.
