This classic rink adored by young and old alike has been welcoming skate lovers since 1869, when Prince Rudolph opened the gates of Europe\u2019s largest outdoor skating rink to the public. With Archangel Gabriel looking over from the nearby Heroes\u2019 Square and the massive building of the Vajdahunyad Castle towering over the skaters in the background, this one\u2019s a lovely venue for a winter date or a weekend family outing, with plenty of choices for a warming drink afterwards. In case you don\u2019t have an ice skate with you, you can rent a pair in the Skating Hall, while skating classes are also available. Entry is free for children under 6, while tickets on the weekdays range from 1,000 to 1,500 HUF, for students and adults, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>1146 Budapest, Olof Palme s\u00e9t\u00e1ny 5.<\/p>\n<h2>Advent in \u00d3buda<\/h2>\n<p>There are two free-to-use ice skating rinks popping up in \u00d3buda every winter: one is found in the northernmost neighbourhood of the city, on B\u00e9k\u00e1smegyer\u2019s Csob\u00e1nka t\u00e9r, while the other, more spectacular ice rink is located on the cobblestoned F\u0151 t\u00e9r, just a two-minutes\u2019 walk from the Szentl\u00e9lek t\u00e9r station of the H5 suburban train. We recommend you to stick to the latter, as it is surrounded by beautiful Baroque buildings, food stalls, heart-warming ornaments and a nice selection of stalls selling handicraft goods. Children\u2019s programs and live concerts are also held regularly until 26 January.<\/p>\n<p>1033 Budapest, F\u0151 t\u00e9r<\/p>\n<h2>Intermezzo Ice Terrace<\/h2>\n<p>Located within a few hundred meters from St. Stephen\u2019s Basilica, the Parliament, and the Danube, the rooftop terrace of Hotel President offers a breathtaking panoramic view over the city, as well as its most exclusive, highest-lying ice skating rink. What\u2019s more, till 12 January, you can take part in unique \u201capr\u00e8s ski\u201d activities every Sunday from 5 to 9 PM, enjoying delicious drinks and skating to invigorating electronic beats at the H\u00fctte Party series of Be Massive Horizon and Intermezzo Ice Terrace. Entry is free for children aged 12 and under, above that it costs 2,500 HUF, including skate rental.<\/p>\n<p>1054 Budapest, Hold utca 3.<\/p>\n<h2>M\u00fcpa Winter Open Air<\/h2>\n<p>The winter wouldn\u2019t be complete without M\u00fcpa\u2019s annually organized open air merriments, awaiting visitors with an enormous ice skating rink that can accommodate up to 80 skaters at once, outstanding background music, a cozy, festive mood (courtesy of the building\u2019s gorgeous light painting), exciting programs, and a heated snack bar right next to the rink, offering traditional wintertime delicacies such as mulled wine and hot chocolate until 2 February. Admission to the ice skating rink is 500 HUF.<\/p>\n<p>1095 Budapest, Komor Marcell utca 1.<\/p>\n<h2>B\u00e1lna Advent<\/h2>\n<p>The city\u2019s biggest free-to-use ice rink is located next to B\u00e1lna, the whale-shaped glass-and-bricks building located between Szabads\u00e1g h\u00edd and Pet\u0151fi h\u00edd. The 450 square meters large rink offers one of the most splendid views out of all the ice rinks in Budapest: gliding by the Danube as the sun sets behind Gell\u00e9rt Hill and the city starts to light up, you\u2019ll be presented with a whole new face of the Magyar capital. Sprinkle your experience with a mug of mulled wine and do pirouettes to the rhythms of your favourite Christmas classics till the end of February at B\u00e1lna Advent!<\/p>\n<p>1093 Budapest,
