Let Your Hair Down at the Prater Amusement Park

When Vienna sightseeing gets to be too much for you, let loose at the Prater Amusement Park. Guaranteed to bring back nostalgia, this traditional theme park is home to classic fairground-style rides, such as a ghost train, bumper cars, and a pirate ship. To make sure you don’t get bored, the park has introduced a handful of new, more modern rides over the past few years, too, including a 5D cinema, catapult-style rollercoaster, and indoor rollercoaster.

The enormous Ferris wheel, one of Vienna's most recognizable monuments, can be found here. The Ferris wheel, which is more than 200 feet tall, offers breathtaking vistas of the entire city as well as the Danube River. You can hire one of the cabins exclusively for yourself if you're celebrating a special event and use it for a cocktail party, a candlelit meal, or even a wedding! It's a good thing that the Prater Amusement Park has so many meal options because riding rollercoasters can be exhausting labor. Numerous eateries, beer gardens, and food stands can be found here, serving everything from burgers and spaghetti to Vienna sausage and German beer.
