Activities for an incredible winter in Stockholm

Step on the ice

Stockholm has several great options to go ice skating; it is a great way to be both outside, have fun and stay warm. The most popular rink is Kungsträdegården near the bridge leading to Gamla Stan, which is usually open from November to March. You can rent skates here but the actual use of the ice is free.

As it is the most popular rink in town, Kungsträdegården can get busy. If you want to avoid the crowds and brought your own skates you can visit the rink in Vasaparken or, for the real skating enthusiasts, go on a one-day ice skating tour on the waterways around the city.
