Advantages: Good fun, reasonable prices Disadvantages: Watch out for pickpockets.
...The Wiener Prater, home to the World famous Riesenrad, is only three stops from the centre of the city on the U-Bahn. There are a wide range of rollercaosters and rides, from log flumes though haunted houses, and there are ubiquitous fast food stands, ice cream sellers and bars. The Prater is a bit seedy, with the occasional lady of the night offering her services and has got a reputation for being a pickpocketers paradise, although it is not often that overcrowded. Ride admission prices are reasonable (usually between ATS30 and ATS60) and it can make a fun evening out for a change, but is not somewhere you would go night in night out. By day it is a jogger's paradise, and is quite a good place to go to escape the relative hustle and bustle of the city centre. The Riesenrad is ATS55 for an adult and the ride lasts about 20 minutes...
