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...

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.

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

A way to see Vienna from the heights. Very good experience and best of all without queuing to buy a ticket.

Everyhing was great. Nothing to complain. The best thing it wasn't overcrowded at the vagon, they let in only few people at the moment.

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.
