Oberlaa station is located in the south of Vienna's 10th district directly at the entrance to the Therme Wien.

The station's construction was part of the fourth expansion stage of the Vienna U-Bahn.

Before the opening of the extension of the U1, the eastern branch of the tram line 67, which had been built at the Vienna International Garden Exhibition in 1974, ended here.

It was shortened to the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung during the construction of the U-Bahn and closed with the opening of the extension.

[1] Exits lead to Laaer-Berg-Strasse, Hämmerlgasse, Biererlgasse and Kurbadstraße.
