Donauinsel
Vienna
The Donauinsel is a long, narrow island, in central Vienna, between the Danube river and the Danube channel. The island is 20km in length, but only 200 metres wide at is largest point. By most Viennese, the island is used as a great recreational area, especially during summer.
During the warm months of the year the Donauinsel boasts great beaches, with sports opportunities from rollerblading, cycling and swimming to canoeing. There is one beach which, in its beginning, felt so exotic that it was soon nicknamed the 'Copa Cagrana' as a humoristic allusion to Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana: this is where you want to go.
