What to expect

The Wiener Riesenrad, also known as the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel, is a 64.75-metre tall Ferris wheel located at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd district of Vienna, Austria. It is one of Vienna's most popular tourist attractions and symbolizes the district as well as the city for many people. The wheel offers breathtaking views of the city and has been featured in numerous films, including 'The Third Man' and 'The Living Daylights'. Visitors can enjoy a ride on the wheel and take in the stunning views of Vienna. The wheel is also home to the Panorama Museum, which provides insights into the history of the Giant Ferris Wheel and the Prater, as well as 2,000 years of Viennese history. For the more adventurous, 'Platform No. 9' offers a unique high-altitude experience with a glass-bottomed platform and no side walls or roof
