Koidls Prater

At the Wurstelprater, Vienna's famous amusement park, the Grand Prix Monza Kartbahn has run karts for decades, not far from the big wheel. Billed as the longest karting track in the Prater, it strings together tight corners and tunnel passages that give it the feel of a Formula 1 circuit. Children can drive from the age of ten, from one metre forty-five tall.

Set among the park's historic rides, the track enjoys the fairground mood of the Prater, between fun and motorsport. People come for a few laps alongside a day at the park, solo or in a group, in a lively, popular setting. It is a playful stop easy to fit into a visit to Vienna, open to families.

The Prater is one of the symbols of Vienna: its huge green space, its century-old big wheel and its attractions make it a walking spot prized by Viennese and tourists alike. The Grand Prix Monza Kartbahn holds a place apart there, inherited from the park's long leisure tradition. It adds a dose of motorsport, welcome between two rides. Over the decades, the Grand Prix Monza has become one of the emblematic attractions of the Wurstelprater, carried on in the thoroughly Viennese setting of the old rides, and its layout full of corners and tunnels offers, for a few laps, a real racing break in the middle of the fairground, a stone's throw from the big wheel and the park's cafés.
