A World Exhibition was held in the Prater, for which a large area of land was set aside, centered on the Rotunda, which burnt down in 1937. This land now houses the Messegelände (exhibition centre) |
Except for the old Ferris wheel, Wiener Prater is made up of several showmen companies, so you must pay separately for each ride. |
Some scenes of the James Bond movie 'The Living Daylights' were filmed at Wiener Prater. | |
Parts of the Wiener Prater are shown in the intermission section of the 2023 New Year Concert in Vienna, by the Wiener Philharmoniker. |
