Tower

We had so much fun with out family & friends at this excursion. You can overlook the whole city. A beautiful park around the tower.

Susana_N, Dec 2023

Good experience better during daylight

Nice views from the top but to get there at night, I wouldn't have gone had it not been for my son as we had to walk through a path that was not lit. So, as a woman, I definitely would have gone during the day but not by night or would have called a cab. Very windy and cold out there so dress appropriately. I didn't realize there was a slide too. Seemed to be fun but, again at night time, I didn't want to try to do it.

Amazing views

When booking this experience through viator, you don't get tickets. I needed to email the vouchers to the ticket office on arrival, so ensure you have data to do that. Or perhaps a printing facility (this wasn't given as an optio, but surely should be) In terms of the actual experience, we went by train and had a lovely walk through the park to get there. Amazing views of Vienna from above. As we had gone to the town center the day before, we had fun picking out a lot of sights we'd seen. Reason for 4 stars is that it's a short experience - once you are up and have walked around a bit, taken pics and possibly tried the slide, unless you have booked a restaurant, there isn't really much else to do. Also the information monitors didn't seem to work.
