These are the 4 best spots for open-air ice skating in Munich

Starting in November, you can let loose on a 60-meter-long ice rink with music and floodlights at the Prinzregentenstadion. Ice dancing is a special tradition here. On Sundays, from 10 to 11 a.m., you can take part in free lessons on a separate ice rink led by experienced dancers. Here, you’ll learn to move elegantly across the ice to the waltz, tango, or the “Münchner Dipferl.” Skate rentals are also available.

At Knödelplatz in the Werksviertel, visitors can skate on a real 300-square-meter ice rink in a festive atmosphere with musical accompaniment through December 20. Skates can be rented on-site, and you can either book your preferred time slot online in advance or simply drop by. The Container Collective, located right nearby, also offers curling, and food and drinks are available.

In winter, Stachus (Karlsplatz) transforms into a fairy-tale ice landscape with a large open-air ice rink. Surrounded by the illuminated facades of the surrounding buildings, you can skate your laps here and let yourself be enchanted by the festive atmosphere. Christmas music plays in the background, and there are cozy huts where you can warm up with mulled wine and treats. Plus, there’s a new theme every day to add variety to Munich’s “Eiszauber.” It’s the perfect place to experience Munich’s winter charm while having fun on the ice!

At the Eissportzentrum Ost, you can let loose on a large ice rink and improve your skating skills. The focus here is not only on ice skating but also on ice hockey and figure skating. The Eis- & Funsportzentrum West also offers a huge open-air rink where you can skate under the open sky. In addition to ice skating, you can also enjoy other winter activities here, such as curling. It’s a place full of fun and variety, so grab your friends and let’s go!
