The Giant Ferris Wheel in the Vienna Prater parkThe Vienna Ferris wheel has a height of 65 meters and is one of the most important tourist attractions of Vienna. It can be seen from great distance and allows from its waggons a magnificent panorama view over the cityscape of Vienna and the Danube river.
