The Prater wheel was amazing at the time if night we rode it! I'm guessing it's a very different experience during the day and that's something we will have to do another trip! Booking with Headout was straightforward and quick and made it a lot easier on the day!

Very impressive ride on the historic Ferris wheel in the Prater, the view of Vienna is very nice. Tour a bit beloce but worth it. Perfect organization, skip-the-line tickets as expected, we got in right away. Thank you!!!

It was great not having to stand in line for tickets. The attraction was great and not overcrowded at the time we went. The views were amazing, the ride was surprisingly smooth and quiet!

No había ninguna cola ni para sacar entradas ni para acceder a la noria. La altura de la noria la esperaba mayor y el viaje fue muy corto. Tampoco había explicación alguna durante el trayecto

Enjoy a ride on the historic Giant Ferris Wheel of the Austrian capital and a symbol of the world-famous Wiener Prater. A must-see attraction in the city, it allows you to soak up breathtaking views of the entire city and its most popular landmarks. The ride lasts 10 to 20 minutes during which you’ll experience spectacular views of the Vienna Woods hills, the picturesque River Danube, the Marchfeld, and the Pannonian Basin. You can even explore the restaurant, Fotoshop, and Souveniershop on your own.

The Giant Ferris Wheel offers more than a traditional Ferris wheel cart ride. The newly constructed The Wheel of Time – shown through the ‘Panorama’ installation – revives much-loved Prater traditions with artistic and technical audio-visual elements in eight cabins. Taking on two thousand years of the city’s history and stories about the Prater, discover the city in an extremely unique manner – high above the ground (64.75-meters to be exact) on this quintessential Ferris Wheel.
