Ice skating at the highest level

Ice skating fans can really work up some speed on the imposing ice rink in the heart of the city, making the Viennese Ice Dream one of the biggest ice rinks in Europe. Along with an unparalleled atmosphere, visitors can expect a unique icescape leading across four large rinks and romantic paths winding through the park all the way up to the first floor: thanks to a newly built viewing platform, the innovative SKY RINK now is even more spectacular now. This makes the winter paradise between the Rathaus and the Burgtheater a unique attraction worldwide – the ultimate ice skating pleasure!

Free sports session for schools

For many years now, the City of Vienna has been inviting all Viennese kindergartens, schools and day care centres in the schools association to skate for free at the Viennese Ice Dream – an offer that is especially important this year due to the COVID-related restrictions in schools. This “school offer” is valid on school days from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm from Monday to Friday, and enables safe and enjoyable exercise in the fresh air. The offer is taken up by around 45,000 children every year. As part of the school promotion, it is possible to hire ice skates at a reduced price of €4.50.
