VIE - Ferris Wheel
In 1896-97, the English engineering firm of Walter Basset built the Giant Ferris Wheel, which has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Vienna (other ferris wheels they had built in Chicago, London, Blackpool and Paris have long since been scrapped).
The wheel, with its 15 gondolas, turns at a rate of two and a half feet per second and offers a magnificent panoramic view of the city.
