With the 2 person QVCR code only one person could pass. The second time the barrier was blocked. Embarrassing for us

Your booking is easy but beside your online tickets you still need to have voucher to enter museum so it means that you need to wait much longer for entrance.

Slati the line to purchase but not the line to enter the booths after the turnstiles. Cmq the price is discounted and that alone is worth it ! Great experience.

The Fastlane was accessible through the online booking. Easy handling of the app. However, I found the download options to be expandable.

For me, a ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel is a must at the turn of the year! With the online tickets you quickly pass through the ticket office... the dioramas in the waiting area shorten the time spent queuing... the view over Vienna is brilliant, there are seats in the carriages if you don't want to stand all the time. Before we boarded, the windows were quickly wiped, so a good view over the city! We would love to go again!!! At the latest for New Year's Eve 2025/2026!

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.
