The Symbol of Vienna
A ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel is a “must” and may be even one of the climaxes of your Viennese holiday. The sheer size of the wheel is impressive and with its bright red cabins it has become a symbol of Vienna.
Vienna from the air
If you want to see Vienna from a completely different perspective, you should give yourself the pleasure of taking a ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel. You rise slowly in spacious cabins to a height of 64,75 meters where you will have a unique view of Vienna. It’s worth taking the ride at any time of day but at sunset the view is spectacular.
Historical Attraction
The Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel was built in 1897 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the ascension to the throne of Emperor Franz Josef the First. Since then it has been the venue of many films and is of course on many postcards as a symbol of the city. After it was damaged during the Second World War, the Giant Ferris Wheel was rebuilt as a symbol of peace and the return to normality.
