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. One thing is certain - only when you have taken a ride on Riesenrad are you really in Vienna!



The Giant Ferris Wheel is open year round and is one of the most frequented attractions in the Danube metropolis. Ferris Wheel Square was redesigned in 2008. Now this entrance to the Prater amusement park is a nostalgic theme world reminiscent of the Prater in the year 1900.



The traditional city inn "Eisvogel" has returned to the Prater and offers award-winning Viennese cuisine. After its inaugural opening in 1805, the inn and its tasteful, sophisticated offering gradually became Viennese institution. Even today, the kitchen chefs hold fast to the qualities of yesteryear. Thus the menu is missing neither the classic Vienna schnitzel nor the imaginatively served yeast dumpling. The local foods are creatively dished up with a decent portion of "Viennese charm".



Today, the Giant Ferris Wheel offers an attractive adventure world: at the entrance area, the "Panorama" tells the history of this monumental ferry wheel and the City of Vienna - with nostalgic installations that drift past you in giant ferris wheel cars.

At the Riesenrad Shop, you can buy exquisite Viennese porcelain and crystal, models of the Riesenrad and high-quality textiles in the Riesenrad-Look. A café-restaurant offers culinary delights and pampers you in a cozy ambiance with Viennese specialties.



The Giant Ferris Wheel was built in 1896/97 by the British engineer Walter Basset and was not the only one of its kind back then: Basset built similar panorama wheels - extremely popular at the end of the 19th century - in Chicago, London, Blackpool and Paris as well.
