About this experience
Nestled in the Prater, the Wiener Riesenrad, or Giant Ferris Wheel, was first constructed in 1897 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I. With a rich history, including Madame Solange d'Atalide completing a full rotation on a horse atop a cabin, an aborted demolition, and surviving a World War II fire, this Viennese landmark stands as a symbol of resilience and timeless charm, offering visitors breathtaking views of the city while embodying historical significance.
