Get to Prater

You say Vienna and… immediately you think of the Prater!
With friends. With your children. In pairs. In family. It is impossible to imagine a holiday in Vienna that does not include a visit to its sumptuous park, one of the most beautiful, ancient and famous in Europe.

It is also one of the ancient piers in Europe, with a history spanning over 250 years. It was, in fact, 1766 when the emperor Joseph II opened his hunting reserve to the Viennese so that it could become a real recreational area.

In the collective imagination, the Prater is above all an amusement park. In reality, calling it a park is rather an understatement.
Located in Leopoldstadt, it covers an area of ​​6 million square meters!
Here, there is a planetarium, a museum (Pratermuseum), kiosks for the most delicious street food and the famous amusement park (Wurstelprater) with the legendary Ferris wheel.
Then, there is everything else, with the immense green lung and lots of nature.

The Prater is undoubtedly the ideal place to escape the city. To think that it is located almost 3 kilometers from the center is quite unique!
