Leopoldstadt's green centrepiece is Prater park, a Viennese favourite for fresh air and exercise. Joggers, skaters and families love its broad avenues. Prater's icon is the Riesenrad Ferris wheel of The Third Man fame - its 20-minute ride provides breathtaking city views.
The wheel towers over an extensive funfair, with old and new rides alike for even the most demanding thrill-seekers.
