Prater is a huge park for relaxation and entertainment in the city line of Vienna. This natural zone is located between the Danube Canal and the Danube. Translated from Latin, the name of the park means a meadow. The first references to the park take us to the distant 1162 years, when he acted as a personal hunting ground of the emperor.
Already in the middle of the 16th century, the arrangement of this place began — the main alley with planted chestnuts appeared here. Then various pavilions and houses appear. This wonderful park was once visited by such famous people as the Strauss brothers, Beethoven and many other great figures of the past.
One of the main attractions is the amusement park (swing, American hills), led by a huge review wheel, which appeared on these lands in 1897 thanks to the English architect Valter Basset. From a height of 68 meters from the cabin, a captivating view of the city opens. By the way, the wheel was a special gift for the 50th anniversary of the reign of the great emperor Joseph
In addition to the entertainment park, there are various alleys, hippodror, sports and playgrounds and many other cozy places on the territory of Pramter.
