This time, we visited the heart of Vienna and made a special trip to Prater Amusement Park, known locally as Prater Wien! The park offers free admission, so no tickets are required! One of the biggest highlights is the world's oldest operating Ferris wheel! The cabins are vintage red and were featured in the movie 'Before Sunrise.' It's truly unique! Additionally, you can enjoy various rides here, such as drop towers, go-karts, roller coasters, and more! Ticket prices range from about €5-12. If you're a fan of amusement parks, spending a day here is perfect! And since it's free, you can explore the park all day long! It's a lot of fun!

Prater

The Prater is a large public park in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, Austria. The Wurstelprater, an amusement park that is often simply called "Prater", lies in one corner of the Wiener Prater and includes the Wiener Riesenrad Ferris wheel. The area that makes up the modern Prater was first mentioned in 1162, when Emperor Friedrich I gave the land to a noble family called de Prato. The word "Prater" was first used in 1403, originally referring to a small island in the Danube north of Freudenau, but was gradually extended to mean the neighbouring areas as well. The land changed hands frequently until it was bought by Emperor Maximilian II in 1560 to be a hunting ground. To deal with the problem of poachers, Emperor Rudolf II forbade entry to the Prater.
