Question 1

When is it open, and can we just turn up?

Accepted Answer

The 2026-27 dates are not out yet. It usually runs from late November to Jan 6: in 2025-26 it was open Nov 28 to Jan 6, daily 11am to 11pm (until 8pm on Dec 24 and 31), at €10 a session or €7 with a Divertivale. Tickets are sold at the box office next to the rink, so you buy on the day and skate in the next free 30-minute slot. Late morning on a weekday is the calmest time.

Question 2

What do we need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Gloves for everyone who skates, since they are required to go on the ice and the rink does not hand them out. Skates come with the ticket, so there is nothing else to rent. Thick socks make the boots more comfortable, and whoever is watching from the barrier will want a warm jacket.

Question 3

Our youngest won't skate. Is there anything else on the plaza?

Accepted Answer

The same shopkeepers' association sets up a classic carousel a few steps away on Plaza del Ayuntamiento, and a Christmas train that loops the old town from Carrer de Roger de Lauria. One parent can take a 30-minute skate while the other does the carousel.

Question 4

How do the Divertivale vouchers work?

Accepted Answer

They are vouchers the city-center shops give out with Christmas purchases. Take your receipts to the redemption stand on Plaza del Ayuntamiento, next to the rink box office, or to the one on Carrer de Roger de Lauria, and swap them for Divertivales. One voucher brings a skating session down to €7 and covers a free ride on the Christmas train.
