Lately, Vienna has developed
a new beach: central Danube canal, which flows past the 1st
district. Summer Stage features facilities for playing boule, live
concerts and yummy food, Strandbad Herrmann scores with
several tons of fine sand for 'real' beach feeling, summery
cocktails and a decent DJ line. FLEX, a trendy club on the banks of Danube canal, features
a see-through annex for its guests. Adria Wien is the
name of another sandy beach venue at 'Salztorbrücke'. A
new highlight on the Danube Canal is the Bathing Boat
("Badeschiff"). It's a converted Danube cargo ship
featuring a pool and sundeck to entice water lovers. Twin
city liner is a fast catamaran, which transports its guests
from Vienna to Bratislava in 45 minutes and departs from 'Schwedenplatz'.
