Ferris Wheel @ Prater, VIENNA 🇦🇹Location: Prater Address: 1020 Vienna, Austria Great experience for both children and adults!! It was quite cold the day we visited Prater, therefore we only went on the ferris wheel. The ferris wheel is enclosed but it was quite shaky, all passengers have to balance on both sides haha NOTE: It can be quite expensive because you pay per attraction Vienna Tips: Purchase a Vienna Pass, it includes entry tickets for a lot of different attractions including the ferris wheel ride @ Prater (+ no queue for ticket purchase) and free hop on hop off bus that brings you to Prater!! #境外遊 #urbanexplorerJOCELYNC14
The Prater is a large public park in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, Austria. The Wurstelprater, an amusement park that is often simply called "Prater", lies in one corner of the Wiener Prater and includes the Wiener Riesenrad Ferris wheel. The area that makes up the modern Prater was first mentioned in 1162, when Emperor Friedrich I gave the land to a noble family called de Prato. The word "Prater" was first used in 1403, originally referring to a small island in the Danube north of Freudenau, but was gradually extended to mean the neighbouring areas as well. The land changed hands frequently until it was bought by Emperor Maximilian II in 1560 to be a hunting ground. To deal with the problem of poachers, Emperor Rudolf II forbade entry to the Prater.salomet234

The Wiener Prater is probably the oldest amusement park in Europe. It is famous with the Vienna Wheel. It is located in #vienna #austria not far from the Danube river. The park is open for visitors without entrance fee. You pay only if you ride the attractions. Nice place definitely! #happynewyearStoyan Gotsev4

🎡 PRATER VUENNA#christmastrip #christmastrip #freehotelstay A beautiful park for all age groups. A place where you can't get bored, regardless of age, and where you'll have fun all day. The prices are quite acceptable, but you will not receive a tax receipt and only in a few locations you will be able to pay with a bank card, the agency accepting only cash. In the weekend there are more people, but the waiting time is quite short. The food at the restaurants is very good and plentiful, and you can find juice and water vending machines everywhere. It is also quite clean throughout the park. One of the most famous amusement parks, the amusement park in Vienna... a good place for fun for both children and adults. To be able to take advantage of the vast majority of the amusements proposed in the park, you must reserve at least half a day. I recommend this place!NicoleStanciu1
Underrated theme park in the centre of ViennaA completely FREE to enter theme park in the city centre of Vienna was a real surprise and joy to come across during my summer Europe trip. I liked the ability to choose which rides to pay to go on rather than paying an arm and a leg for entry. Would recommend if you’re ever in Vienna!Cookee27

Prater, Vienna#bucketlistreboot The Prater (full name Wurstelprater) is an amusement park, with its best-known attraction – the Wiener Riesenrad, a Ferris wheel. Constructed in 1897, it was the world’s tallest extant Ferris wheel from 1920 until 1985. The park also features various rides, bumper cars, carousels, roller coasters, shooting galleries and so on. Great place to go with the kids too. This reminded us of London Eye, where we talk more in our London article here. Whether you are planning a city break or a longer stay Vienna is a perfect destination for either. Feel free to consider doing a joint trip Vienna – Bratislava as this is perfectly doable and you’ll kill two birds with one stone. #vienna #austriaCheckinaway (@checkinawayblog)

One of the oldest theme parks in Europe. Home to 2 Ferris wheels. The first of which was built before the war. Lots of variation of rides. The park looks amazing when it is lit up in the evening.
It's a Ferris wheel where you can see the night view of Vienna. The price was 13.5 Euro per person! The boarding time is about 10-15 minutes! It's close to downtown ㅎ
prater - viennaThe Prater is a popular public park and green space in the city, and is home to one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. Its ferris wheel, at over 200 feet (65 m) tall, is one of the symbols of Vienna.The Wurstelprater area is accessible without admission. The entrance and ride prices of individual attractions differ depending on the scope and genre – most range from 2.00€ to 6.00€.In many cases, only cash is accepted. Attractions like Vienna's Ferris Wheel, Madame Tussauds and many other businesses also accept payment by card. Only cash payments are possible at the Schweizerhaus.
I like that the park is free entry and you can pay by ride. I will suggest coming after sunset as the park lights up. We went on the flying swing ride and got a great view of Vienna from above.
Vienna Prater lovely place to visit in Vienna for a super funny day. perfect for family or group of friends. can have a lots of fun. it is free entry but then you have to pay for a sigle ticket based on what you like to do. you can eat and drink lovely beer here. open from morning to night.
