Christmas Gospel concerts at Präter.

Christmas Gospel concerts at Präter.

Would you like to prepare for Christmas with some free gospel concerts in Vienna? It is possible because there will be two fantastic gospel concerts at the Christmas market in Präter on December 17th and on December 23rd.

On December 17th, between 19.00 and 20.30, Favorhythm Gospel will perform at the stage and on December 23rd, Gospel & More will perform at the Christmas market.

What does this mean? It is a wonderful opportunity to listen to rhythms that will bring the Christmas message closer to you, and maybe warm your heart and soul, and body at the same time (if you sing along, dance along, or at least, clap your hands).

Are you in for some action and adrenaline while in Vienna? Prater is for sure a place you should visit during your stay.

We have earlier written about how you can get to the Familypark by the Neusiedler see from Vienna. But, you do not have to travel there to get adrenaline and experience some fun. Prater, also known as Wurstelprater, is a fantastic area in the city of Vienna, and here you will find fun for people of all ages. Just take a look at the fantastic ride at the picture beneath.

The Olympia Looping is one of the most famous rides available in the park. It has been rumored that it will retire soon, but it is still there, and you better try it if you like such kind of rides. It first saw the light of day in 1989, and it has been at several locations in Europe before it ended up in Prater.

The price for a ride is 8,50 Euro, and for this money, you will get one minute packed with action. There is a total of 5 loops during the ride, and the highest speed during the ride is 100km.

Since you buy tickets individually for all rides in the park, there is normally no line and you can go ahead and enjoy a ride at once without standing in line!

Does this look like a nice ride to you? We have tried it… it’s amazing!
