• Opens in mid-November each winter, and only while the weather allows, so check before a trip on a mild day
• Try-it sessions run during the season, a gentle start for kids new to the ice
• Metro at the rink: Kungsträdgården station is about a minute's walk, so no long trek in the cold

An outdoor public rink in Kungsträdgården, the central park locals call Kungsan, open to everyone each winter while the weather allows. It works for a first wobbly try on skates as well as a few laps after a walk around the city center.

Through the season the rink hosts skating discos, try-it sessions, figure skating shows, concerts and choir performances, plus the switch-on of the city's Christmas lights.
