Offered in: German and 5 more

A giant Ferris wheel, a self-declared republic and a funfair with 250 years of stories — the Prater is Vienna at its most playful.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Vienna on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Visit the Republik Kugelmugel, a spherical micronation with attitude
• Ride the skyline with views of the Riesenrad, star of film history
• Wander the Wurstelprater, Vienna's beloved old-school funfair

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and English.

All the fun of the fair, plus a scoreboard.

What to expect

Starting at Praterstern, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and follow the avenue into Vienna's great green playground. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

First stop: the Republik Kugelmugel, a spherical house that declared itself an independent republic — complete with border dispute. The riddles here have diplomatic immunity.

Then the Wiener Riesenrad turns overhead, the 1897 Ferris wheel immortalised in The Third Man. Trivia spins through film noir and imperial jubilees.

The Wurstelprater closes the loop with bumper cars, ghost trains and sausage stands that have fed generations of Viennese.

Around two hours of parkland and nostalgia. The leaderboard is the only ride with a queue worth joining.
