Amusement Park and Leisure Fun
The Viennese Prater lies directly in front of the door of the Austria Classic Hotel Wien. This is an extensive park with plenty of green spaces and an amusement park, which is the oldest of its kind in the world, known as the „Wiener Wurstelprater.“
The „ Wurstelprater“ in Vienna
The Viennese have been fond of the Prater since the days of the emperor – especially since the stylish gardens were expanded by the amusement park for young and old. The famous Giant Ferris Wheel (Riesenrad) is at the entrance to the park where you can also find a roller coaster, a nostalgic miniature steam train, shooting stalls, an autodrome (scooters) among many other attractions. A special aspect of this amusement park is that the entrance is free – you only pay for the rides you actually take.

Leisure time in the Prater
But the Viennese Prater is not only an amusement park; the avenues and paths are especially popular for jogging and Nordic walking. Children can romp undisturbed on the large meadows and green fields as well as at many playgrounds. The simple eateries in the Prater like the „Schweizerhaus“, a beer garden specializing in juicy roast leg of pork („Stelze“), are especially popular.
