Beautiful view, don't stop for the photo - A famous landmark in Vienna, and a great way to take in all the views. Buy you tickets online and you wont have to wait in line. The amusepark is also lovely, all though jam packed when we visited. One annoying thing, as you enter the office, they take a picture of you. They make it look like something mandatory, but it's just a way to make money. I saw some parents struggling to have their kids sit still for the photo, maybe thinking it was something important.

The wheel of Vienna. - Built in 1896, the Vienna Ferris Wheel (Riesenrad Wiener) continues to spin and offers a wonderful view of the city. It 'a must-see stop on a tour .. even to get back a little' children. The tour takes about fifteen minutes and the ticket costs 14.50€.

Enjoyable leisurely ride, nice views - We enjoyed the experience of riding in such an old ferris wheel. We’d booked in advance so skipped the queues (which weren’t long). The ride was very leisurely, offered great daytime views of Vienna. The ferris wheel is in the middle of a fairground, lots of rides available, but we didn’t investigate prices. It’s clearly a place for all ages where you can spend a whole day.

Pleasant ride with an average view - It's a big, old, ferris wheel. A comfortable, obviously not scary ride with a fairly average view, but if you're at Prater and don't fancy one of the scary rides this is a very genteel alternative.

Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel – Iconic Viewpoint Over the City - The Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel is a classic experience and offers a beautiful panoramic view over the city. The ride lasts about 10–15 minutes and costs €14.50. If you buy your ticket in advance, you can use the fast track line and skip the regular queue – definitely a time-saver during busy hours. Some cabins even have seating, which makes the ride more comfortable. A must-do when visiting the Prater, especially around sunset!

Kaloucicko - It is located at the entrance of the park and so you do not need to get messed up with the public if you do not want to see anything else. The price is relatively expensive for the sailing that takes less than 15 minutes.

Great views - A great thing to do even in bad weather as you are inside in the carriages. You get amazing views of Vienna from the top. We booked our tickets online to avoid queueing to get on. It has a nice little gift shop too.

Waste money and time. Save your money and time for something else. - Don’t waste your money and time. A true ripoff. The worst big wheel in the world and ruins the image of Vienna. We went there at around 9pm. Nothing to see. No view at all to compare with other cities like london and Budapest. And they charge way too expensive. It doesn’t worth a penny. What a shame! Don’t go. We were so disappointed and this ruined our holiday as well.
