I really liked the fact that we could skip the line at the ticket counter. That way, we were able to take our time exploring the Prater and then hop right on the Giant Ferris Wheel. The process was straightforward, and communication via WhatsApp went very smoothly. I’d definitely do it this way again.

The fast-track ticket was worth it. We were able to walk right in and take our time looking around the small museum. We'll definitely do it again next time.

The best views of the city of Vienna! With our passes we didn't have to make a line, just scan and start enjoying the experience that started with a little exhibition and then the ride on the Ferris Wheel! I'd recommend going during sunset time!!

Avoiding lines is always a plus. No waiting—just the time it takes to board our car. It was a beautiful day, so the views were stunning. A truly wonderful experience

Great bus drivers, great audio commentary: informative recordings that are very easy to understand and varied thanks to different narrators and formats (e.g., interviews)

For up to 20 minutes, let the Giant Wheel's red cabins lift you into Vienna's embrace, serving up a panorama of cityscapes, with this skip-the-line pass.

As the Giant Ferris Wheel turns, feast your eyes on the scenic stretch of the Danube River, the St. Stephen’s Cathedral spire, and historic rooftops.

Craft your Vienna adventure with a 24/48-hour hop-on hop-off pass along 27 hotspots on twin routes, from the House of Music to Votive Church.

Your bus turns into a mobile lounge with WiFi and audio guides, and free walking tours, shuttle rides, and guided tours give you the full Vienna flavor.

Fun fact: Despite both World Wars, the Giant Ferris Wheel remained mostly unscathed, standing as a symbol of resilience for Vienna's people.

The opportunity to see the city In one day was good. The bus was extremely hot though and this is only the beginning of May. The audio was temperamental and crackly on one side of the bus so we had to swap seats when they eventually became available.

Not expensive, beautiful views, felt very traditional in the old tram carriage. Would recommend as part of a Vienna trip with kids or families

Giant Ferris Wheel

Hop off at stop #9 Prater on Red route and in just a few steps, head to the historic Giant Ferris Wheel, the star of Vienna's Wiener Prater, and get ready for a ride packed with adrenaline rush. Over 10 to 20 minutes, you’ll be treated to stunning views of Vienna’s famous spots, from the lush Vienna Woods to the glittering Danube River. But there's more – dive into the city's rich history with "The Wheel of Time" at the Panorama installation, where eight cabins bring Vienna’s 2,000-year journey to life through audio-visual magic. Floating 64.75 meters up, you’ll soak in Vienna’s heritage from a whole new angle.
