Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Opening hours not yet known.

Tips & Advice

  • Take the U5 to Rotes Rathaus or the S-Bahn to Alexanderplatz, because both stations are only a few hundred meters from the rink.
  • Warm up after your session in one of the heated mulled wine taverns around the ice.
  • Combine your skate with a walk around the Weihnachtsmarkt am Roten Rathaus, because the rink is part of that market in front of the town hall.
  • Dress warmly and wear gloves, because this is an open-air rink and you'll be out on the ice in the Berlin winter.
