Lienz is a medieval city in Tyrol, Austria. It is the administrative centre of the Lienz district (Bezirk), which covers all of East Tyrol. Lienz is located on the rivers Isel and Drau, and has a population of c. 12,000 (as of 2001).
It received its city rights on February 25 1242. Lienz is located at a road junction between the federal Felbertauern road (B108), a road to the Pustertal valley (B100) and South Tyrol, and a road to the Drautal valley and Carinthia. It is also connected by the Austrian Southern Railway.
