Story · Giant Ferris Wheel
You're standing at the Wiener Riesenrad, the giant Ferris wheel at the entrance to the Prater. That's the amusement park in Leopoldstadt, Vienna's second district. Take a moment to look up. The wheel stands almost sixty-five metres tall, and for many people it's the symbol of the district and of the whole city.
