The Vienna Ice Dream is one of the most popular winter events in Vienna. Every winter, the square in front of the iconic Vienna City Hall is transformed into an expansive ice landscape that attracts both locals and tourists. Thanks to its central location on Rathausplatz and its unique atmosphere, the Vienna Ice Dream is an integral part of the Viennese winter.

The event takes place from the end of January to the beginning of March, in 2026 specifically from January 22 to March 8. The Vienna Ice Dream is usually open daily from 10:00 to 22:00 and offers more than 10,000 square meters of ice, making it one of the largest inner-city ice rinks in Europe. Ice skating is possible on several interconnected surfaces as well as on romantic ice paths through the park around the town hall. A special highlight is the Sky Rink, an elevated ice rink with a wonderful view of the illuminated City Hall and the surrounding buildings.

The Vienna Ice Dream is suitable for all ages. Visitors can hire skates on site, use lockers or have their own skates sharpened. In the evenings, part of the ice rink is reserved for curling, a traditional winter sport similar to curling.

Thanks to the excellent public transport connections and the special winter atmosphere, the Wiener Eistraum is the ideal place for active relaxation and romantic winter moments in the heart of Vienna.

Date: January 22 – March 8, 2026
Opening hours: Daily from approx. 10:00 to 22:00
Location: Rathausplatz, 1010 Vienna
Admission: Admission for adults is usually around 8-10 euros
