Prague’s ice-skating season is now in full swing, with rinks operating in parks, school grounds, shopping centers, and even on rooftops.

Below is a district-by-district overview of where to skate this winter, reshaped and reorganized to help readers plan easily.

City Center and Old Town

One of the most visited spots each year is the rink at Na Františku, which opens early in the morning and runs through the day. The schedule changes depending on school use, so checking the timetable before heading out is recommended. Admission for adults is 140 CZK.

A short walk away, Wenceslas Square hosts another rink from December 1. Skaters move in two-hour blocks, with daily opening hours from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Adults pay 200 CZK, children 100 CZK, and residents of Prague 1 receive a discounted rate.

Green Spaces in Prague 2

Several parks in Prague 2 offer skating in quieter surroundings. Folimanka Park opens its season on December 10 at 5:00 PM, with a symbolic 50 CZK day ticket. Further options include rinks at Havlíčkovy sady and Svatopluka Čecha Gardens, both charging 80 CZK for a full-day visit.

Žižkov and Prague 3

Two long-running rinks opened in mid-November: one in the Na Pražačce sports complex and one under the Žižkov Tower. The Pražačka rink opens to the public at 1:00 PM on weekdays and stays open until 9:00 PM during weekends, with adult tickets at 120 CZK. Under the tower, prices range from 50 to 150 CZK depending on age.

Prague 4: Unusual Settings

One of the city’s more unusual rinks is located on the roof of the Arkády Pankrác shopping center, open 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Mornings are reserved for schools; adults skate for 100 CZK while children under six enter free.

Another popular location is the rink along Podolská Embankment, which begins operating on December 1 and runs through February 28, 2026. Opening hours stretch from afternoons on weekdays to full-day operation on weekends, with a 100 CZK entry fee.

Barrandov also hosts a free public rink on the grounds of a local elementary school, open daily from 2:00 PM.

Prague 5 and Shopping Centers

Two large shopping centers offer convenient spots for skating. Metropole Zličín has a rink set up directly in its parking area, while Nový Smíchov operates its own on the rooftop level. Both charge 130 CZK for adults and 70 CZK for children.

A free alternative is available at Vypich near the Hvězda forest park, operating until 9:00 PM daily.

Prague 7: The City’s Largest Rink

The Letná rink, 42×20 meters, is the largest public rink in Prague and provides striking views over the city and Prague Castle. It is open until March 1, 2026. Thanks to municipal support, children aged 6 to 15 living in the district skate free. Adults pay 140 CZK for a two-hour session.

Prague 8: Rinks and a Fountain

Three rinks opened early this year: one at KD Kraków in Bohnice, another at Löwitův mlýn in Libeň, and a third at the Ládví swimming pool. Prices range from 55 to 100 CZK.

A growing attraction is River Rink, which operates late into the evening and charges 190 CZK for adults. Weekday mornings are dedicated to school groups.

One of the more unusual locations is the circular rink built inside the fountain at Druzhby Park in Střížkov. With a 25-meter diameter, it is open daily, and a two-hour ticket costs 140 CZK for adults.

Additional Rinks in Prague 10, 12, 14, and 15

The Gutovka complex in Strašnice, Sophie’s Square in Prague 12, Černý Most, Hostivař, and Horní Měcholupy all operate neighborhood rinks with entry fees usually under 130 CZK. Most open in the afternoon on weekdays and from morning through evening on weekends.

Across the city, nearly all rinks offer skate rentals and basic refreshments. Because many morning time slots are reserved for schools, visitors are encouraged to check individual schedules online before heading out.
