Skip-the-line ride on Vienna’s Giant Ferris Wheel in Wiener Prater. Almost 65 meters up, plus a panorama museum stop.
“What I liked most was the spectacular view of Vienna from above, it would be better to have some Opera music inside the cabin (which is Vienna's culture) or a recorded description of what you see (for the tourists).”
Vienna’s Prater Johann Strauss dinner show: 20-piece orchestra, ballet and soprano, plus a 4-course Viennese meal in The Mirage (3 hours).
“Had a wonderful time, show was great, but waitstaff needs improvement.”
Ride the Wiener Riesenrad in Vienna’s Prater for a 12 to 20 minute view over the UNESCO historic center, with mobile tickets.
“A lovely experience if only too quickly over. Despite covid, the staff were polite and inviting and on top of cleanliness, cleaning the cars between visitor. Would love to do it again one day. Highly recommended.”
Prater Super Ticket bundles four Vienna Prater rides for one special price, from the classic Tagada carousel to VR The Clown and 82 km/h Rotor.
“j'ai pu prendre part aux 4 attractions. il faut faire scanner son ticket dans le guichet d'une attraction et on reçoit le ticket papier pour toutes les attractions. j'ai tout aimé à part le tir à l'arme. j'ai trouvé ça beaucoup trop enfantin car pas de balles juste des bruits. sinon le reste était super et plein d'adrénaline”
One day in Vienna with a hop-on hop-off open-top bus, skip-the-line Riesenrad Ferris wheel, and a Danube river cruise.
“Plan is amazing. Whole city tour with hop on and off as much as you want “untill 17:00” which wasn’t mentioned until we went to the meeting point and get the brochures of the event. The thing is they divided the city tour into 2 lanes. Blue lane and red lane. One day is not enough at all to visit all destinations by hopping off the bus every single time so you have to pick locations by elimination method which was a clueless experience via google. We had the full package with my kids which included boat tour and ferris wheel ride and we didn’t have time to go there…”
Vienna in 24 hours by hop-on hop-off bus, plus a Danube river cruise and skip-the-line ride on the Wiener Riesenrad.
“Interesting historical facts to learn on 2 wide-ranging routes across the city. Many hop-on, hop-off stops. Great view on climate-controlled buses.”
Ride Platform 9 at Wiener Riesenrad, stand on a glass-bottom platform up to 65m high, and get skyline views of Vienna.
“Possibly a signed area to meet your guide or a second window to present prepaid vouchers without causing inconvenience to people in a long queue however overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit my 77-year-old mother was well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Certainly a once in a lifetime for her thank you so much.”
Drag brunch in Vienna's Prater at Mirage Vienna. 3 hours of German-only drag show plus eggs, strudel, fries, and sweets.
“Außer einem sehr schönen Ambiente und freundlichem Personal hat uns nichts gefallen”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
