Information:

Wiener Prater city park is one of the city’s most fun to do things. The giant amusement park, lies between the Danube and the Danube Canal and used to be used as the Austrian emperor’s hunting grounds. In the 18th century, the park was opened to the public. Wiener Prater is now the oldest amusement park in the world, is full of roller coasters, merry-go-rounds and is completely free to visit.
