Giant Ferris Wheel (Riesenrad)

add to my travel plan

Your personal wedding in one of Vienna's landmarks with a magnificent view of the city, where you spend your romantic honeymoon.

You literally float in the sky, you enjoy the incomparable view of the old city of Vienna and enjoy the Prater amusement park at your feet: get married in the 65-meter-high Riesenrad, which was built in 1896-97.

Float together to seventh heaven in the wedding car. For the wedding breakfast you can change to the anniversary car or hold a reception in the cocktail car.
