Vienna, U3 Volkstheater metro station. May 2017

This metro station is located between “Volkstheater”, one of Vienna’s main theatres, and “Museumsquartier” (or simply “MQ”), the former stables of the imperial court which now host several museums, art spaces, offices, bookshops, restaurants and bars.

While running through the heart of the city, Metro line 3 also connects two traditional working class and immigrant districts, Ottakring in the West and Simmering in the Southeast.
