5 ICE SKATING RINKS IN BARCELONA

TIBIDABO ICE SKATING RINK: Tibidabo will open a new ice skating rink. You can celebrate Christmas by skating on the new Tibidabo ice rink, offering the best views of Barcelona! Plaça dels Somnis is the chosen space for its installation, and it will be operational whenever the park is open. Access to the rink is included in the park entry prices – which you can check here – but there is also the option to use it separately for 5 euros. It’s not a conventional ice rink; it has something special. The rink has a surface area of 200 square meters and is made of synthetic and sustainable material. Though not natural ice, it provides very similar sensations. Specifically, it’s made with polyethylene panels, a new and revolutionary product with zero energy consumption, as it doesn’t need water or electricity to maintain. Days: November 26th to January 5th. Schedule: From 11 am until the park closes, every day. Price: Free with park entry or 5 euros. More information: Tibidabo ice skating rink
