Wien Praterstern (German for Vienna Praterstern) is one of Vienna's main railway stations, used by 35,000 people daily. It is located on the roundabout Praterstern in Leopoldstadt, in the north of the city. Vienna's two most recognisable structures, the Wiener Riesenrad (Ferris wheel) and the Stephansdom (cathedral), are both visible from the platforms. Underneath the station is the Praterstern U-Bahn station, which is on U1 and U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn.
