• Ice depends on the weather, so the rink only runs in the cold months and the spot is a bench terrace in summer
• A busy city square around the ice, also a common spot for demonstrations and the May Day parade start, so expect crowds on some days
• Public library on the corner of the square, an indoor stop close to the rink

A small outdoor ice rink set on Medborgarplatsen, the large Södermalm square locals call "Medis". In winter kids skate laps right in the middle of the square; in summer the same spot turns into a terrace with benches.

A big public library stands on one corner of the square, and the 17th-century Lillienhoff Palace sits diagonally across.
