Hungary’s most iconic ice rink is opening soon: drastic prices await
Change language:
Hungary’s most popular and most visited artificial ice rink is about to open. Although the energy crisis means that Christmas in Budapest won’t be the same as it used to be, the iconic City Park Ice Rink (Városligeti Műjégpálya) won’t be leaving us.
The opening of the City Park Ice Rink is imminent, with the exact date set for 17 November. As we all might have guessed, prices have gone up: you’ll have to open your wallet twice as much as in the past to skate here.
Against all odds
As we reported before, many drastic measures have to be implemented in the country in an attempt to fight the energy crisis and save as much money as possible. Theatres close, the iconic cog-wheel railway ceases operation, Christmas lights are limited, universities turn off hot water, Budapest will stay without Christmas lighting this year. These are only a few of the draconic measures that the country is seeing.
Despite all of this, the country’s most popular ice rink is opening soon. However, it will not be cheap at all. On 17 November, the City Park Ice Rink, which will be 151 years old this year, will open, magyarorszagom.hu reports. Although it has been indicated that this is only a planned opening, and many things could still come into play.
