With the whole family

Vienna is a child-and family-friendly city. Children up to 15 years (with valid ID) on Sundays and holidays may travel free with “Wiener Linien” (metro, bus and tram). Therefore family fun is nothing in the way.

The following information regarding special children & families - attractions:

The Vienna Prater

It is a colorful world with more than 250 attractions and fun for the whole family in the middle of Vienna. The Prater is a place of fun and for example the Ferris wheel provides a good view over the city. But if the Viennese speak about the Prater they don´t talk about the ghost train but a 6km ² floodplain. Here already converted Emperor Franz with his Sisi to escape the stress of everyday life. Woods and meadows are here when the weather permits, 10-24 clock for recreation open. Numerous playgrounds and playing fields liven up the atmosphere with the little ones.
