Fast, flowing and floodlit—Lusail delivers a pure speed spectacle. With Grand Prix Getaways, the logistics are refreshingly easy.
What to know about the area
Base in central Doha for luxury stays, museums and waterfront dining; the circuit sits north near Lusail City.
Getting to/from the circuit
Ride the Doha Metro (Red Line) to Lusail QNB and connect to free event shuttles to the circuit. Taxis and ride-shares work well if timed away from peak.
Best seating
Main Grandstand: start/finish, pit lane and podium.
T16 Grandstand: final corner, pit entry and slingshot onto the main straight.
North stands: long-arc views across high-speed sections.
What you can/can’t bring
Expect bans on oversized bags, glass, flares, weapons, drones and most outside food/drink. Keep it minimal and bring a small, soft daypack.
Best 5-star hotels
Raffles Doha, Fairmont Doha, Mandarin Oriental Doha, Four Seasons Doha, W Doha.
Best restaurants
Fine-dining heavyweights: Nobu Doha, Hakkasan, IDAM, Coya, La Mar.
Little-known gotchas
Metro-to-shuttle times add up; leave earlier for Quali and race. Even at night, it’s warm—breathable fabrics and hydration help.
We’ll make it seamless. From metro logistics to hospitality lounges via F1 Packages and VIP Hospitality.
