Wien Mitte is a rail and U-Bahn station in Vienna, close to the city centre. It is the city terminus of Vienna's City Airport Train (CAT), which provides non-stop service to Vienna International Airport. The station is a major hub for S-Bahn suburban trains, with little service by InterCity trains. The station is connected to the ''Mitte / Landstraße U-Bahn station''.
The first station to occupy this site was called Hauptzollamt and opened in 1859. It was rebuilt between 1899 and 1901 to connect with the Stadtbahn, which ran below ground. When the S-Bahn opened in 1962, this station was renamed Landstraße, which remains the name of the U-Bahn portion. The main portion of the station was renamed ''Wien Mitte'' after it became a stop for international trains in 1975 due to construction at the Wien Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof. In 1999, a proposal for the new Wien Mitte station building, which was to include two new high-rise buildings up to 97 metres, drew massive controversy from many Viennese residents as well as UNESCO, who questioned whether said proposal was compatible with the World Heritage Site status of the neighbouring Old Town. The project in question was dropped in 2003, and a newer, heavily downsized project, which became the present station building and shopping centre, was constructed between 2007 and 2013. The U-Bahn uses the facilities of the former S-Bahn station.
