About Vienna Schottentor

Vienna Old Town is one of Europe’s true gems, with wonderfully preserved architecture and glorious town squares tracing back to the centuries of prominence by the ruling Habsburg dynasty. With opulent palaces and official buildings built by the Austrian Imperial family, you’ll have an easy time filling up an afternoon of strolling through the Innere Stadt District, which is situated in the center of Vienna and is easily reached via subway or tram. 

Schottentor Station is one of the most popular subway stops in the Vienna city center and is on the busy U2 Line of the Vienna U-Bahn. It’s named for a gate of the former city walls that ringed Old Town. It’s within walking distance from several notable destinations including Ringstrasse, Universität Wien, and the Rathausplatz. If you’re doing your trip to Vienna right, you’ll likely pass through this subway station. 

Because of its location near the tourist haven of Old Town, you’ll likely want a secure place to store your bags while you poke around. That's why we offer convenient luggage storage services at so many Vienna locations, including at Universitätsstr 4.
