Neighbourhood guide

Leopoldstadt

Prater and the Karmelitermarkt

Leopoldstadt lies between the Donaukanal and the Danube and holds the Prater, the Riesenrad and the Augarten. It is also home to some of the city's liveliest market squares.

The Prater is the district's big green space, with the long Hauptallee, the Wurstelprater funfair and the Riesenrad. The Ernst-Happel-Stadion and the Krieau trotting track sit at its far end.

Around the Karmelitermarkt and the Volkertmarkt the streets are lined with cafés, small restaurants and shops. The Augarten adds a Baroque park with the porcelain manufactory and the Filmarchiv in its flak tower.

Getting there

U1 and U2 meet at Praterstern, the district's main interchange, and U2 continues to Messe-Prater, Krieau and Stadion. Tram O and several bus lines serve the Taborstraße and Praterstraße side (Wiener Linien).
