Giant Ferris Wheel

Picturesque view of the city center from top position. The cabins of the ferris wheel looks like railway cars, lol.

Taking a ride on the ferris wheel at night let's you see beautiful Vienna from above. Totally worth the long-ish ticket lines and the €9 fee.

My favorite New Year ride, time it right and your will see all the fireworks form the best place.Need to shoot some city views with your camera ? ask the operator to leave the door open. They will do

Bond and Milovy take a ride on the Grand Ferris Wheel in The Living Daylights (1987). Director John Glenn also worked with the wheel in The Third Man (1949) in which he was Assistant Sound Editor. Read more

Place felt like a deserted wasteland in the middle of winter. Probably has more life in the peak season but from my experience, January is not the best time to visit.

Not too far from the historical center but definitely a different experience. Enjoy the nostalgic games and rides and overall happy environment!

Soooooo cool :) history and fun all in one! Be sure to grab a brochure to know the story behind it!

Once the world's largest ferris wheel. Watch the great movie "The Third Man " and then hop on board for great views of Vienna .

I would suggest going by day as by night, at least when I went, there was nothing to be seen. I think this could be an alternative to the St. Stephens Cathedral , but I would suggest the cathedral

Iconic place in Vienna. The wheel was created July 3rd, 1897. This is the oldest wheel in the world.

Treat life like a ferris wheel ride....you must get past the fear to enjoy the view ... I see nothing in space as promising as the view from a Ferris wheel ✔⭐ (quotes mix)

A bit rickety but worth it for a 360 view of the city and the rides underneath ????

Kinda creepy but a must ride in Vienna. Not the best spot to catch the best pictures but worth the trip and the view . Go during day light

If u afraid to be wet-its not your place))its a joke.Very interesting for all family place . Prices are ok:4-10 euro i think. Music , animation. No wi-fi and cards. Only cash ,but there is ATM machine.

make sure you grab your ticket roght after the donnrr and cocktail cabins . otherwose you'll have to wait for their orders and food brought in

At 64.75 metres high, you can catch a great view of Vienna from the top of this Ferris Wheel!

You may want to visit this landmark of Vienna in the footsteps of the immortal movie “The Third Man ” or simply enjoy the view of the city from almost 200 feet up. Read more

You can enjoy a candlelit dinner with a spectacular view of Vienna as you go round!

Bring your friends, bring time and enjoy the park and its roller coasters .

Queues are deceptively long... decent views though!

In Carol Reed's THE THIRD MAN , the Wiener Riesenrad (German for "Viennese giant wheel"), shot in beautiful black and white, facilitates a pivotal meeting between Joseph Cotton and Orson Welles . Read more

One of the most Romantic points of the city , go up just for a round or reserve a private dinner !

One ride is just one loop, but it stops for a long time to load/unload each cabin , so overall the ride is rather long.

Historic amusement park . Fun for all ages.

Amazing amusement park ! A must visit if you have the time!

Oldest ferris wheel.good paek for what it described as a fair ground more of a mini theme park

Free entry to the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel with ViennaPass.

A great view over Vienna for 15 minutes.

Famous Ferris wheel featured in the third man and before sunrise!

A place to have fun! You can buy combined ticket with zoo and safe some money

15 wagons spinning around very slowly allow for excellent views on the area and the nearby city .

IDK which was more astonishing: the view or the steel construction .

marvelous scenic city views , worth to spend money and time

Amazing you can see all the town from top

Once a year the Prater Unser festival brings techno onto the wheels of steel. Watch out for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ZZKRoX5sU

Simply a must when you visit Vienna (for the first time)

The best and oldest Wheel in the world!!! Must see and ride!!!

it's quick and quite small, not giant for sure. view is nice enough

oldest ferris wheel in the world

Checkin At New Year with Friends or most loved. Best view Offen Vienna Fireworks On Thien center Offen the city

The view is quite average, the attraction for those who have a lot of time and don't know how to spend it. Made a few good photos though.

A must when in Vienna

Fantastic view !

It was the worst experience that we had in Vienna. Mediocre view , quite expensive . If you want to enjoy the city from above, go to the Le Loft cafe-bar. AVOID

I really enjoyed it

Good view around Vienna

The wheel was very pricey and did not accept credit cards, but you can if you buy online.

Very good goulash soup

Vienna is so beautiful I cry just remembering

Nice view of the city 's skyline
