01 / The experience

### Gondolania: indoor karting at Villaggio

The tight bends and red-and-yellow barriers at Gondolania put you in a driving seat of your own during a Qatar motorsport trip. The indoor track runs for 350 metres inside Villaggio Mall, with a briefing and a short rental-kart session making it an easy activity to build a free afternoon around.

Friends can come for the karting together, while anyone sitting out has the mall and Gondolania’s other paid attractions nearby. Food in Villaggio makes lunch straightforward when everyone wants something different. Each attraction has its own charges and rider requirements.

The Aspire location also gives you a worthwhile motorsport combination. 3-2-1’s collection and family Motor Sports trail are nearby, so an open museum day can include sporting history and a drive afterwards. Allow time for both entrances and the journey between them. Children need to meet the track’s own age, height and equipment-fit requirements before joining a session.

### Plan your visit

#### Cost & admission

≈ QAR 85 per driver for one short session. Session length, current tariff, any card/balaclava charge and extra laps must be agreed at purchase. Food, other attractions and transport are separate. Estimated return taxi allowance from a central Doha hotel: ≈ QAR 110 per vehicle for both journeys. Metro fares and travel cards are separate if using rail; actual road fares vary with the hotel, traffic and pickup.

#### When to go

General park hours: Sunday–Wednesday 10:00–23:00; Thursday and Saturday 10:00–00:00; Friday 13:00–00:00. Karting can stop earlier or close separately; obtain the track’s operating window for your visit.

Allow 1–2 hours for purchase, queue, briefing and a short session; add the mall approach and both journeys.

#### Getting there

Gondolania, Villaggio Mall / Aspire Park Road, Al Waab

Take the Gold Line towards Al Aziziyah and follow the signed pedestrian route to Villaggio, then the indoor signs to Gondolania and its karting desk. From West Bay change from the Red Line at Msheireb. Allow roughly 45–75 minutes from a central hotel including station and mall walks; this is a journey allowance, not a timetable. A taxi should use the agreed Villaggio entrance on Aspire Park Road. There is no F1 shuttle connection for this outing.

#### Before you book

Individual sessions are normally bought at the track. Call +974 4403 9800 before travelling for the karting window, current driver height/age/weight limits, guardian consent, helmet and footwear rules, session duration and payment/refund terms. Wear closed shoes and secure loose clothing as instructed. Do not buy an unrelated park package assuming karting is included.

#### Your return journey

Retrace the indoor route to the same Villaggio entrance and Al Aziziyah station. Take the Gold Line towards Ras Bu Abboud, changing at Msheireb for the Red Line if needed. Include the mall exit walk before the last usable train; for a late finish, book a licensed taxi at the mall’s vehicle pickup and save the entrance name. A late park closing does not extend Metro service.

#### Accessibility

The mall approach and kart transfer are different questions. Request the step-free mall entrance, route to the desk, accessible toilet and any queue assistance. The operator must establish whether the driver can transfer into the kart and use its controls; do not assume adapted karts are available.
