Riding the Vienna U-Bahn from Schottentor to Praterstern. Austria, 08/08/24

Schottentor is a station on U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn. It is located in the Innere Stadt District, below Maria-Theresien-Straße. It opened in 1980.

The station is an interchange node between U2 and 10 tramway lines, 5 of them using a small underground section as a terminal station.

The name of the station derives from the Schottentor, a former city gate in the Vienna city wall, which was demolished in 1860.

Praterstern is a station on U1 and U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn. Above the U-Bahn station is the Wien Praterstern railway station, which is served by regional trains, and by lines S1, S2, S3 and S7 of the Vienna S-Bahn.

Both stations are located in the Leopoldstadt District. The U-Bahn station opened in 1981.


Line U2 is a line on the Vienna U-Bahn metro system. Opened in 1980, it currently has 20 stations and a total length of 16.7 km (10.4 mi), from Schottentor to Seestadt. It is connected to U1 at Praterstern and U4 at Schottenring.

Since May 2021, the section from Karlsplatz to Schottentor has been closed due to the construction of the not-yet-opened U5. Since the closure, Line U2 only runs between Schottentor and Seestadt, totaling just 16 stations and losing its only connection to U3 at Volkstheater, as well as connections at Karlsplatz to U1 and U4.
