Ice skating area

Helsinki's numerous ice skating areas are open to residents throughout the winter.

Ice skating fields are available to city residents free of charge, depending on the weather conditions. You can skate on the ice skating fields when the temperatures have been below freezing for long enough and the ice has had time to freeze. Bring your skates and a hot beverage in a thermos, and head out to skate on your own or with a larger group.

Current information on the condition of ice skating areas is available at ulkoliikunta.fi. More information on the opening hours and locations of ice skating areas is available from the specific locations.
