Schottentor is a station on U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn.[1] 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.
