Description

See Munich from a different angle with a ride on Umadum, the city’s Ferris wheel, from the comfort of a themed gondola. Over the course of around 30 minutes, rise above the rooftops and enjoy broad views across the city, with the Alps visible in the distance when the weather is clear.

From the moment you step inside, the decorated gondola sets the tone for the experience. Depending on the session, the theme may vary, with options such as a winter gondola, beach gondola, or spring gondola. As the wheel turns slowly above Werksviertel, new views open up across Munich, its surrounding districts, and the mountain backdrop beyond.

This experience is a good fit for anyone who wants a classic Ferris wheel ride with an added themed touch. The changing gondola designs give each session its own mood, whether you are visiting with family, friends, or a partner.
