Pro tips to help you make a pick

TrainYAS (Mon & Wed evenings) and TrainYAS Ladies (Tues evening) let you walk, jog, cycle, even attend yoga or Zumba, directly on the F1 circuit. It’s exclusive, free, and especially magical around sunset.

On guided tours, arriving at least 15–20 minutes before your start makes a huge difference. You’ll avoid the afternoon glare and enjoy walking through the pits, Race Control, Shams Tower, and more with fewer crowds.

A lesser-known vantage point is the second-floor balcony at Yas Kartzone. You can stand above the pit lane and enjoy views of the circuit.

Skip the circuit’s often-congested parking zones. Instead, park at Yas Mall and walk or take the shuttle to the circuit. It's usually far smoother and more efficient.

Instead of battling traffic, take advantage of the Yas Express, a free shuttle linking major hotels (e.g., Park Hyatt, St. Regis) with Yas Central, where the circuit tour starts. It’s a smart, calm way to arrive and depart.
