Venedig in Wien, Theme park in Leopoldstadt, Austria
The park features an artificial lagoon with Venetian-style canals, surrounded by replicated historical palaces across three main squares connected by waterways.
Founded in 1895 by Gabor Steiner, Venedig in Wien operated for six years as one of the first permanent modern theme parks worldwide.
The attraction employed authentic Venetian gondoliers who navigated original gondolas through the constructed waterways, offering visitors an Italian experience in Vienna.
Located within the Wurstelprater complex, the park provided entertainment facilities including a restaurant pavilion, puppet theater, and extensive water-based activities.
The artificial canal system stretched one kilometer in length with a minimum width of five meters, incorporating flowing water through a slight gradient design.
