Pratercard | Overview

The Pratercard is the cashless means of payment in the Viennese Prater, which aims to expand beyond the Prater.

With the Pratercard the tradition of cashless payment at Prater attractions is continued in a modern way, which began years ago with the cashless payment system “Calafati Schilling”.

The technical concept and all the components that ensure the Pratercard functions were exclusively designed and implemented by us.
