Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel
vienna, Austria
Built in 1897 for Emperor Franz Joseph I's golden jubilee, the Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel is a slice of history that survived both wars. Its 15 wooden cabins give a bird's-eye view of Prater Park and the spires of Vienna's churches. Ideal for a quiet evening ride, especially when Vienna's lights start to twinkle below and the queues have thinned.
