Standing in Vienna’s Prater amusement park, the Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel is a cherished symbol of the city and offers sweeping views of the skyline. Completed in 1897 to mark Emperor Franz Joseph I’s Golden Jubilee, it survived war and reconstruction, becoming an iconic backdrop for countless films and postcards. Visitors can step into one of the original red cabins and enjoy a gentle ride with vistas of the Danube. Tickets can be purchased online or at the entrance, and the experience typically lasts around 12 minutes. Open year-round, it’s a popular highlight day or night.
