notes:
Erected in the years 1896-97 by the english engineer Walter Basset the Riesenrad, is one of the most visited sights in Vienna.
But the Riesenrad wasnt always such a unique sight then it is nowadays: such panorama giant ferris wheels were popular attractions at the end of the nineteenth century, and Basset had built similar ones in Chicago, London, Blackpool, and Paris.
Today, the Riesenrad offers an attractive adventure world: at the entrance area, a "Panorama" tells the history of this monumental ferris wheel and the City of Vienna – with nostalgic installations that drift past you in giant ferris wheel cars.
