Leopoldstadt, Vienna's second district, occupies an island in the city's heart formed by the Danube Canal and Danube. The Riesenrad observation wheel and Wurstelprater amusement park sit within the district, alongside the Augarten palace and gardens. The district holds historical significance as a centre of Jewish life and culture, with sites including the Synagoge Tempelgasse and memorials to those lost in the Holocaust.
