Conveniently, the solution of buying the ticket first saves the queue to buy it. At the time we arrived, early afternoon, there were many people in line

Definitely worth the Fast Track to avoid the queue. Fantastic views from the Ferris Wheel and 10-20 mins is the appropriate amount of time. Be aware the cabins are quite full so there isn't room for everyone to sit.

After there was a long queue at the ticket counter, we opted for the quick online ticket and within max. 5 minutes we were in the access area to the Prater Giant Ferris Wheel. Everything was great, gladly again 👍☺️

The online ticket was helpful, so we were able to get to the ride much earlier. I was personally pleasantly surprised how quiet the gondola was during the ride. Pleasant.

Your Experience

Enjoy a ride on the historic Giant Ferris Wheel of the Austrian capital and a symbol of the world-famous Wiener Prater. A must-see attraction in the city, it allows you to soak up breathtaking views of the entire city and its most popular landmarks. The ride lasts 10 to 20 minutes during which you’ll experience spectacular views of the Vienna Woods hills, the picturesque River Danube, the Marchfeld, and the Pannonian Basin. You can even explore the restaurant, Fotoshop, and Souveniershop on your own.

The Giant Ferris Wheel offers more than a traditional Ferris wheel cart ride. The newly constructed The Wheel of Time – shown through the ‘Panorama’ installation – revives much-loved Prater traditions with artistic and technical audio-visual elements in eight cabins. Taking on two thousand years of the city’s history and stories about the Prater, discover the city in an extremely unique manner – high above the ground (64.75-meters to be exact) on this quintessential Ferris Wheel.
