And now for something wheely different in Vienna. Get high above the Austrian capital for a whole new perspective on the city's awesome architecture, and the Danube. This smartphone ticket gets you one ride on Vienna's skyline-stealing Giant Ferris Wheel.

You will probably see this towering beauty way before you reach it - it's so big that its silhouette is visible from miles away!

Gaze over the rooftops of Vienna from its iconic Giant Wheel, a landmark that was first constructed in 1897 in honor of Emperor Franz Joseph, and his ascension to the throne.

Its iconic red numbered gondolas have since been featured in Hollywood movies, from The Third Man with Orson Welles to The Living Daylights starring Timothy Dalton as James Bond!

Why not make your own movie as you ride this piece of history over Vienna?
