The former imperial hunting grounds have been a popular recreational area in the heart of Vienna ever since Emperor Joseph II opened them to the public.The extensive woods and meadows are just as popular with sports freaks and exercise fanatics as with lovers of traditional cooking. The main avenue through the Prater and countless winding but flat paths are a paradise for runners, cyclists, inline skaters, horse riders as well as those who just want to go for a walk. The seemingly endless fields are also ideal for ball sports. The Schweizerhaus is definitely the most well-known restaurant in the Prater and its legendary pork knuckles and freshly tapped beer draw thousands of tourists and locals every year.
The Prater fairground, lovingly known as the "Wurschtlprater", boasts one attraction after another. Only a few yards away from the world-famous symbol of the City of Vienna, the Giant Ferris Wheel, Madame Tussauds Vienna recently opened its doors to show visitors a magical world of wax. This interactive exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to have their photographs taken with Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Arnold Schwarzenegger, famous personalities like Barack Obama or at a jam session on the drums or keyboards with Falco or Freddy Mercury. There is also a Driving Range – the Pratergolf training centre – is located on the edge of the "Grünen Prater”, in the heart of the historical trotting course Krieau.The Prater is only a few minutes away from the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser and can be easily reached by metro without changing trains. Are you a fan of Robert Pattinson, Heidi Klum, Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie? Then you should befriend ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser Vienna on Facebook as we will soon be giving away tickets to Madame Tussauds Vienna.
