Panoramic views of Vienna
We visited the Prater Park in Vienna on a Sunday morning during the summer, and it was an excellent experience. Going early was the perfect choice because we completely avoided the crowds and the hot midday weather. The park itself is beautiful and very well preserved. The ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel offered wonderful, panoramic views of Vienna. It was a great, relaxing time with the family, and I highly recommend a morning visit!

Easy enough to use the Viator voucher. You do have to wait in line to get your ticket but it was very easy. Cute experience- similar to the London eye!

Worth a try
Is a nice experience learn about the history of the ferris wheel and beautiful views. Short queue when we went. Option to get a photo as well on entry.

Has to be done for a bit of Fun!
This is the oldest Ferris wheel in the world so not to be missed. We had around 15-20 mins on it and it moves very slowly. Wouldn’t rush to do it again - but you have to do it whilst in Vienna! We really had a fun day at this fair, reasonably priced rides ( compared to the UK) and the little train that runs around the fairground is amazing value - think it was €2. and it takes you out to the wider park area and through woodland - so on it for around 30-45 mins

Must do in Vienna
This is a very smooth riding Ferris wheel. The cars hold a dozen people. The ride is just one revolution, but slow enough to enjoy the view.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 0.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 323 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket?
+
Around 113 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 0.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wiener Riesenrad - Giant Ferris Wheel Vienna Entrance Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
