A new skating rink opened in Vilnius at the beginning of December beside the Grand Dukes’ Palace, taking its place among traditional rinks in large cities throughout the world. This 700 square-metre rink in the courtyward of the historic building is free to skaters at 10 am and 11:15 am daily. At other times, visitors can skate for 45 minutes for 7 euros, 5 euros for children. Tickets are available on site or at kakava.lt. Skating is free for everyone on weekends.
The skating rink is a part of the project “Vilnius Dukes’ Palace Ice”. Every evening vistors can enjoy the skating show ”Legend – the Dream of Vilnius” or visit Santa Claus at his special residence. Various Christmas performances take place at the 1000-seat grand stand, and hot drinks and snacks are sold at Christmas booths.
