What is the Best Time to Visit Vienna Ferris Wheel?

The Giant Ferris Wheel, also known as Wiener Riesenrad, is a must-visit attraction of the city and hence it is essential to know the best time to visit for the best experience.

Weekend Vs Weekday

We suggest visiting on a weekday rather than on the weekend, when it is generally more crowded.

On the day

Visit the Vienna Ferris Wheel during sunset or as soon as it opens for the best views and fewer people. You can also visit after dusk, when the wheel and the city are lit up, lending a magical atmosphere to your visit.

How Long Do You Need to Tour Vienna Ferris Wheel?

Take a spin on the iconic Wiener Prater's Giant Ferris Wheel, which dates back to the early 20th century. It is a must-see city attraction that offers magnificent panorAMas of the entire city and its most well-known attractions. You will enjoy breathtaking views of the Vienna Woods hills, the charming River Danube, the Marchfeld, and the Pannonian Basin during the 10- to 20-minute ride. If you visit the in-house restaurant, Fotoshop and Souvenirshop, you can expect to spend at least an hour there.
