At the Josefstädter Straße exit, it is possible to change to tram line 2 in the direction of Dornbach or Friedrich-Engels-Platz .

Barrier-free access by elevator is currently only possible via the Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz exit.

The station is named after the Vienna City Hall in the immediate vicinity.

Other notable points in the vicinity of the station are the Parliament, the building complex of the Vienna Regional Court, the former Military Geographical Institute and the Niedermair cabaret venue.

Between 2021 and 2028, as part of the U2/U5 Linienkreuz (line crossing) expansion project, new platforms for the U2 line will be built around 30 meters below street level and thus below the current station, which will then lead to Matzleinsdorfer Platz.
