Getting the ticket was easy and straight-forward. Unfortunately, there was no line at the ticket booths when we got there, so it didn't make much of a difference, especially given that there was no escaping the waiting in line for an empty car... The Ferris wheel is quaint and nostalgic on its own. I loved that there were explanations of what we were seeing and the views are breathtaking, even more so around the sunset, when the lights in the surrounding amusement park come on...

Great heat, if you want to sit upstairs to see better , there is a covered part to keep out of the sun but the windows are completely sealed and it was very hot we were coming down soaking wet from sweating. If you sit in the back uncovered you can breathe but get sunburnt. Down below there are few seats and visibility ft restricted. Crowded, you can't really choose your seat.

Vienna from above is beautiful to look at after the city has already been admired from below. Unfortunately, all the tables in the other cabins were being laid while we were standing in them. Which sometimes led to long stops at every point. I would have preferred to make 2 round trips.

It gives you a quick impression of the city and the sights. Very nice with the background music. Lots of information about the history too.

Everything went well. But the queue to buy tickets was so small that it wasn't even worth buying them.

Giant Ferris Wheel

Experience the magic of Vienna from the historic Giant Ferris Wheel, an iconic symbol of the renowned Wiener Prater. This must-see attraction offers a 10 to 20-minute ride with breathtaking views of the city's landmarks, including the Vienna Woods, Danube River, Marchfeld, and Pannonian Basin. Beyond a typical Ferris wheel ride, the newly introduced "The Wheel of Time" in the 'Panorama' installation brings Prater traditions to life. Eight cabins feature captivating audio-visual elements, showcasing the city's 2,000-year history and the tales of Prater. Soar 64.75 meters above the ground for a unique and engaging perspective on Vienna's rich heritage.
