Venue: Opened at the end of October 2014 and reopened on January 18, 2021 after the long COVID hiatus, Goldentime in Linz (Leonding) is an elegant FKK club spread over a total of 1,800 m². Inside, you’ll find the essential bar, relatively small but surrounded by comfortable sofas, armchairs, small couches, and a handful of stools. The lockers are very small—just enough to store your “civilian” clothes and nothing more.
The wellness area is well maintained and of good quality, equipped with a steam bath, saunas, a jacuzzi, a relaxation room, massage services (for a fee), an infrared cabin, and a tanning bed (also paid, but for a small fee).
The main hall, which is largely an open space divided by partition walls, includes: a dining area with a self-service buffet, a kino (cinema) room, a TV room, a stage for pole shows (where, among others, Italian performer Valentina Nappi has performed in past years), a garden, and comfortable armchairs with a nice view of the club.
Upstairs, there are 14 large rooms, all equipped with equally large showers, plus a VIP lounge for those interested. Adjacent to the main hall is the outdoor area with a heated pool furnished with sunbeds, tables and chairs, sofas, and other lounging options. There is also a Finnish sauna.
Girls: Not many, but in proportion to the size of the venue, and almost all of a fairly high aesthetic standard, consistent with the original Goldentime in Vienna. Lingerie or totally naked, depending on the day, but the performances are generally good, as is traditional for Goldentime.
Prices: Entrance fee is €90 (women pay €70, but this price applies to your potential partner’s entrance, who in any case cannot have sex with other clients—only with their own companion and the professional staff present).
The standard half-hour rate is €65 (however, this is only an indicative starting figure below which it’s impossible to go. The actual price is set by each individual worker—some ask for €100, others settle for €70. In any case, it’s rare to receive a satisfactory service for less than €80 per 30 minutes).
Hours: Open daily from 11:00 am to 4:00 am.
Restaurant/Bar: Breakfast starts from 11:00 AM with fresh pastries, sweets, and various savory options. The buffet is always available from 12:00 PM to 2:00 AM. The food is good—not exceptional but generally enjoyable.
At the bar, soft drinks are free (alcoholic beverages cost around €5 each, but two drinks—beer, wine, etc.—are included in the €90 entrance fee with the Free Drinks offer).
Note: GoldenTime Linz-Leonding is located in Austria, about an hour from the borders with Germany and the Czech Republic, an hour and a half from Salzburg, and a two-hour drive west of Vienna. From the Italian border, it’s roughly three and a half hours away, whether you pass through Innsbruck or Villach.
After a rocky start at the end of 2014 and a long “break-in” period, this GoldenTime seems to have found its balance. It even survived the COVID wave and, although not very crowded, it is still quite frequented—mainly by locals, passing travelers, and loyal customers from various countries. Smaller than its more famous sibling, GoldenTime Vienna, this FKK sauna club focuses heavily on the quality of the girls and maintains an elegant style with a “nightclub” atmosphere, similar to venues like Andiamo in Villach and Wellcum—two of the best sauna clubs in Austria (especially for Italians, considering the proximity to the Italian border).
GoldenTime Linz also offers a limousine service at a cost of €5 per person (based on 8 people), but only within 25 km of the club.
The unique feature of this GoldenTime—which actually concerns only a niche group of users—is the possibility of entering with your partner and enjoying the company of one of the many operators who offer their services to couples. Naturally, your female partner cannot interact at all with other clients, which is why a written declaration is required upon entry, but the idea is still intriguing for couples open to new experiences.
Essentially, the pedigree of the famous GoldenTime Vienna is a solid guarantee, and this smaller sibling follows the same quality line.
The only downside is its location, which is not exactly easily accessible. Linz, the third-largest city in Austria by population, is perhaps better known for having hosted various Nazi camps and a certain fellow named Adolf, rather than as a tourist destination. This, combined with the fact that it’s about as far from Italy as Vienna is (which is, by the way, a beautiful city well worth visiting at least once in a lifetime), makes it less appealing for everyone—especially for Italian punters.
However, if you find yourself in the area for other reasons, it’s certainly worth spending a few hours to check out this “mini GoldenTime.”
