Where in Vienna is the metro closest?

The metro is closest in Mariahilf, Innere Stadt and Josefstadt.

In Vienna the metro is the backbone of getting around, and how far it is from your door varies a lot by district. wohnwahn measures the walk to the nearest of the 99 U-Bahn stations for every inhabited 250 m cell.

And we show what no portal does: the areas that get a brand-new metro soon, through the planned U5 and U2 extensions.

Method: for every inhabited 250 m cell the straight-line distance to the nearest of the 99 U-Bahn stations, turned into a walking time (about 80 m per minute, with a detour factor). Vienna only, the U-Bahn lies entirely within the city; the outer edges of large districts pull their share down honestly. Prices: asking prices per m² (condos), immopreise.at / derStandard-Preisspiegel, as of Dezember 2025.

The metro network and how far it reaches

Darker means a shorter walk to the U-Bahn. The coloured lines are the real network (U1 to U6); dashed lines and hollow stops are the planned U5 and U2 extensions. Tap the map for the walk at that spot.

Only cells within about a 18-minute walk of a station are shaded, so the map stays focused on where the metro actually reaches. Source: Wiener Linien timetable (stations) and the U2xU5 plan (City of Vienna).

Each line in detail

Every U-Bahn line with its stations, the districts it serves and the flats along it.

Coming soon: new on the metro

These places get a brand-new U-Bahn through the U5 (new line) and the U2 extension. Buying or renting near a future station is a bet on the area, and one no portal flags for you.

What to weigh near the metro

Five minutes changes everything

A 5-minute walk to the U-Bahn and a 15-minute one feel completely different in daily life, and price it in. We show the exact walk per location, not a vague "well connected".

Right above the station is not always best

A flat directly over a busy station entrance can mean crowds and noise. One or two quiet streets away, still within 5 minutes, is often the sweet spot.

A future line is real value

Areas like Hernals or around the Wienerberg gain a U-Bahn through U5 and U2. Today they rank lower on access; that is exactly where a future station lifts the location.

The metro is not the whole story

Outside the U-Bahn’s reach, S-Bahn and tram often connect just as fast. Check the commute page for real travel times, not just station distance.

Frequently asked questions

Which Vienna district is closest to the metro?

Mariahilf (1060): 100% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of a U-Bahn station, ahead of Innere Stadt and Josefstadt. The inner districts score near 100%; large outer districts much less. Source: Wiener Linien station data per 250 m cell.

How close counts as "near the metro"?

As a rule of thumb, within a 5-minute walk (about 400 m) is excellent and within 10 minutes (about 800 m) is good. We show the exact walk for each location so you can judge it yourself, instead of a listing simply claiming "close to the U-Bahn".

Does the S-Bahn count too?

This page is strictly about the U-Bahn (U1 to U6), because that is what people search for. In the outer districts and around Vienna the S-Bahn often connects just as fast; the commute page covers real travel times across all modes.

Which areas get a new U-Bahn?

The U5 (a new line via Frankhplatz, AKH and on towards Hernals) and the U2 extension (via Pilgramgasse and Matzleinsdorfer Platz to the Wienerberg) add new stations from around 2030. Areas like Hernals and the Wienerberg gain metro access they don’t have today.

How current is the data?

Station data from the Wiener Linien timetable, distances computed per inhabited 250 m cell, refreshed monthly (as of September 2026). The planned extensions follow the official U2xU5 plan.
