Description:

  • Orson Welles's famous speech in the Third Man (comparing the artistic achievements of the degenerate Borgias with Switzerland's 500 years of democracy, culminating in the invention of the cuckoo clock) took place on Vienna's Riesenrad. This epic scene immortalized English engineer Walter Bassett's 19th century big wheel, and now a spin on this splendid creation is an absolute must for all vistors to Vienna. The wheel moves slowly so you can take in the views before descending into the pleasures afforded by the Prater funfair. Not to be missed.
