(EDIT: This info is for 2012, for current opening hours and prices... click here!) A sure sign that winter is just around the corner (besides the dropping temperatures) is the opening of the outdoor ice skating rink in Kungsträdgården for the season! For decades this has been a popular activity for young & less-young, natives & visitors alike. It is quite affordable... free if you have your own skates, otherwise renting skates costs 50 SEK for adults and 20 SEK for children up to 19 years of age (prices per hour). The skating rink is open 7 days a week (usually into late spring), from 11am to 7pm on the weekends and 10am to 8pm on the weekdays (open to 9pm on Tues & Thurs).
This is a great activity to take children to and, when the
Christmas Market opens in Kungsträdgården on November 30th, the perfect place to get into the holiday spirit. Kungsträdgården
is a park located in the downtown area, just a 25-30 minute walk from the
Rival Hotel (through Gamla Stan), otherwise
bus #43 or #55 will take you there in about 10 minutes. Happy skating!
