    Marking the entrance to the Wurstelprater amusement park, the Giant Ferris Wheel is one of the beloved Viennese sights.

    At 65 meters tall, it held the record for the tallest Ferris wheel in the world for 75 years from 1910 - 1985. On your journey around the loop, you’ll see the rooftops of beautiful Vienna, the spire of the gothic Stephansdom Cathedral, and the blue Danube snaking along the city’s eastern fringes.

    What’s more, in the entrance area of the Giant Ferris Wheel, eight cabins offer insights into 2,000 years of Viennese history. Not only will get to enjoy looking out over the whole city, but it will be a learning experience as well.

    A trip to Vienna without experiencing the Giant Ferris Wheel of Prater Park is a trip wasted! Just one circular journey on its historic mechanics will make you realize why this is a cultural and architectural must-see for every visitor to Austria’s capital.
