The Vienna Prater

In direct proximity of the Hotel Capri is the Viennese Prater - an enormous local recreation area and one of the many green belts in Vienna. The Prater also accommodates the oldest entertainment park in the world - the Viennese Wurstelprater. Not only children and kids find attractions to their taste: Ferris wheel and roller coaster, torture chamber and a leisurely train and lots of other fun are here to choose from. The entrance into the Prater is free; the public attractions are opened in summer well into the night. Under cover of the evening illuminations from the shooting gallery, the dodgems or the hall of mirrors one can stroll through this unique facility of the Prater. A genuine highlight of your vacation in Vienna is without doubt a ride on the Ferris wheel. The prominent red cabs bring the Vienna holiday-makers high over the city - an indescribable view of Vienna and the surrounding hills of the Viennese woods is guaranteed.

A further must for every visitor to the Prater: The Swiss house. Here one pauses for refreshments in the beautiful guest garden. Specialties of the house are potato fritters as a starter and Stelze (pork knuckle) with mustard and horseradish as a main course. Before the meal it’s advisable to have already tried to the full, the Prater’s action attractions: Boomerang, Volare and Space Shot are just some of the names of the best known looping-coasters.
