Best known for its giant Ferris wheel and amusement park, the Wurstelprater, a long stretch of woods and meadows between the Danube and its tributaries, originally served as the imperial hunting grounds. The park was opened to the public in 1766 and its 67 meters (219.8 feet) tall Ferris wheel was erected in 1896. The construction was used as a watchtower during World War I and was badly damaged in World War II. Nowadays, the funfair is full of high-tech rides ranging from bumper cars to trains, although some of the historic elements remain even today. To escape the noisy part of the Prater, walk along the quiet Hauptallee through the meadows until you reach Lusthaus, a restaurant serving authentic Austrian dishes.
