Museum Quarter - Natural History Museum

Other Cultural Visits

  • Prater Park
    An excellent location to spend the evening with your students. The Prater Park is free to enter and the rides and attractions have their own individual fee. The most famous attraction is the Reisenrad, built in 1897 and once the largest Ferris wheel in the world and is considered a must do attraction in Vienna.
  • Ice Skating at Vienna Ice World
    From late January to early March, City Hall Square transforms into a giant ice rink. An area of 7,000 m2 provides a fairy-tale ice landscape daily from 9 am to 10 pm to the hits of the 80s and 90s as well as waltzes. Winding through the romantically illuminated City Hall Park is an idyllic ice path that thrills beginners and professionals alike with its countless routes.
  • Restaurants
    Once you are in Vienna, eating out can be very expensive so we highly recommend that you eat your evening meals at your hotel where the food is of good quality and great value.
