Vienna Prater – 2011 opening

Another season for Vienna Prater has started this week. The hibernation period is over, new attractions have been added and existing ones modernized. As usual, the entry is free and most attractions are open from 10 am until after midnight.

It might be a bit too cool these days, but it is good to know that the probably nicest beergarden in Vienna is open again as well after a thorough makeover. The traditional Schweizerhaus is a must for everyone who likes great beer and rich food. And now it is even easier to get there – the Schweizerhaus got its own railway station. Well, not on the Vienna underground network, but on the lovely narrow-gauge track of the Liliputbahn. For those who travel green, the Vienna Prater is offering a new charging point for electric cars and bikes.

And don’t forget, Madame Tussauds is opening soon – April 1^st is the date of wax! 65 wax figures will be awaiting you, the entry fee is reasonable - EUR 18.50 for adults and EUR 14.50 for children.

Let’s go there and have fun!

Directions for visitors staying at bluedanube apartments: it’s right on your doorstep, a 5 minutes walk will do.

Madame Tussauds in Vienna Prater

10 is not enough !

That’s why Merlin Entertainment Group are going to open their 11th wax attraction in Vienna. The opening is scheduled for early 2011.

Being in Madame Tussauds London

you can pose with the Beatles, have a chat with Tony,

be part of a royal showdown or be the 7th wife of Henry VIII.

Don't fancy that?

Then come to Vienna! The new attraction in the Vienna Prater will be home to approx 70 wax figures, celebrities from all around the world, but with a distinctive Austrian touch. The Prater is already one of Vienna’s main attractions with around 3 million visitors every year, but Madam Tussauds certainly will significantly raise the profile of the location.

Will they invite Sisi and others of the former Hapsburg glory? Will they present Hans Moser, one of the most famous, typical and traditional viennese actor? What about Johann Strauss? The composer of "The Blue Danube Waltz! - I'm sure our Japanese visitors will love being pictured with him!

Now, as most of the Prater’s main attractions are in hibernation until spring 2011, we are looking forward to the grand opening of the new attraction. And we can't wait!
Don't miss it out and book in advance!
