Since January 19^th 2023, the fantastically lit facade of the Viennese Town Hall once again forms the backdrop for the annual “Viennese Ice Dream“. A short walk within the Hotel Zipser you will reach this annual spectacle, which is already taking place for the 28th time.

Romantic winter landscape in the middle of the city

Until March 05th, daily from 10:00 am till 10:00 pm the Town Hall Square as well as the surrounding park will be transformed again into a dreamlike romantic ice rink with an ice surface of around 8.500 m². The “Sky Rink”, connected by a 120-meter-long ramp and new platform on the 1st floor, enables ice skating on two levels. The skating rink, which is very popular among Viennese as well as tourists, in front of the impressive backdrop of the town hall, leads ice skaters on the black ice and can also be used free of charge on the opening day! For the small ice runners, an enlarged exercise area is available free of charge – on weekends all day and Monday to Friday from 09:00 am to 04:00 pm.

Dream path and other special features

Besides to the large ice surface at Town Hall square, a 500-meter-long, winding dream path leads through the romantic illuminated, wintery Park, particularly popular with couples, to spin off the turbulent skating rink and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. A bridge over the Dream path offers an opportunity to watch the colorful activity from above and enjoy the unique ambience of the Viennese ice dream.

Ice skates rental

For visitors of the Viennese Ice Dream a skates rental of 2.0000 shoes preheated with warm air is offered on the main square and allows spontaneous excursions on the ice.
