Finally, a warm and sunny day here! I decided to go out and get some fresh air today and went down to the Prater, a huge park in Vienna's 2nd district. Part of the Prater is an amusement park, and the picture is the huge ferris wheel called the Riesenrad, built in 1897. It is roughly 200 feet tall and has 15 gondolas. It originally had 30, but it was damaged in World War II, and when it was restored they only used 15. Each gondola is huge, and you feel more like you are sitting in an actual room. I believe that actually rent them out by the hour at times and serve dinner, but I'm sure that's not on a student budget!
