Hi, my name’s Rick, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: the Prater.

The Prater is Vienna's most famous public park.

The name "prater" generally refers to the famous amusement park whose full name is Wurstelprater, dominated by one of the best-known symbols of the Austrian capital: the huge Ferris wheel of more than 60 meters high, which in 1949 was immortalized in the famous film "The Third Man" by Carol Reed.

You may be surprised to know that the wheel - inaugurated in the late 19th century for the Golden Jubilee of Kaiser Franz Joseph I, i.e. for his 50 years on the throne - was almost entirely rebuilt, except for the metal structure, after it was damaged in a devastating fire in 1945....
