Serving, spiking, sweating. And a mega atmosphere for the fans! Once again, from 31 July to 4 August 2019, Vienna will be the hotspot of the international beach volleyball scene – the A1 Major Vienna presented by Swatch is coming to the city. Find out here what is happening all around the tournament on the Danube Island and which beach bars and parties you should not miss.
The most important thing first: you don't have to worry about tickets for the matches. Access to the event area is traditionally free. So everyone has the chance to experience the matches up close. For seats in the stadium: first come - first served! But take note: anyone who books the beach volleyball package with an overnight stay in an Austria Trend Hotel definitely has access to the stadium!
The size of the entire area is an unbelievable 60,000 m²; in addition to the Centre Court, the side courts and the VIP areas there is a huge Beach Village, which is open daily from 9.00 am. There is a lot to be discovered there. If you prefer to be lazy and cheer the players on from your deckchair, then you can relax in front of the large public viewing screens in Beach Village. Anybody else can jump on the trampolines, get a rush of adrenaline and then dive into the pool!
After the players have physically given their all on the courts, the fans head for Vienna’s dance floors. Parties and warm summer nights in Vienna’s city.
The heat is stifling, the glass is empty and the need for a relaxing beach bar is growing. Then it's off to the waters of the Danube to start the evening with a cool drink. At the hip Beachclub on the Danube Canal. Or on the bathing jetty with the wakeboard lift.
A dip in the Danube is a must after a day in the Beach Village. The area around the beach volleyball tournament near the Danube Island is teeming with natural waters and bathing bays. We'll tell you about five particularly fine places here.
