Last Chance to Glide at Városháza Winter Wonderland
As the winter season draws to a close, Budapest’s City Hall Winter Wonderland is offering one final opportunity for ice skating enthusiasts to enjoy the rink in the heart of the city. The popular attraction, which has been a favorite winter destination for both young and old since mid-November, will remain open until Sunday evening, January 26, 2025.
Final Days of Winter Magic
The City Hall Winter Wonderland has been a hub of joy and laughter for over two months, bringing smiles to countless faces in the city center. Visitors have until 9:00 PM on Sunday to experience the thrill of gliding across the 500-square-meter ice rink, complete with its unique 110-meter-long ice corridor.
Accessible for All
For those without their own skates, there’s no need to worry. The park offers skate rentals, ensuring that everyone can participate in the fun. This accessibility has been a key factor in the park’s popularity throughout the season.
A Season to Remember
The organizers express their gratitude to all who chose City Hall Park as their winter recreation spot. The sight of rosy cheeks and the sound of laughter have been a constant, making this season particularly memorable.
Meanwhile, in Normafa…
While much of Budapest has been experiencing grey, gloomy weather, a true winter wonderland persists in Normafa and János Hill. Thanks to temperatures hovering around freezing, these areas have retained their snow cover, with Anna Meadow’s sledding and cross-country skiing tracks even receiving supplemental snow from snow cannons.

The frosty conditions have created a magical landscape, with rime ice transforming the Normafa area into a breathtaking winter spectacle. This natural beauty offers a stark contrast to the urban setting of the Városháza rink, providing winter sports enthusiasts with diverse options for enjoying the season’s final days.
As the City Hall Winter Wonderland prepares to close its doors for the season, and with the possibility of warmer weather on the horizon, now is the perfect time to embrace these winter activities. Whether you prefer the convenience of city center skating or the natural beauty of Normafa’s snowy slopes, Budapest offers a range of winter experiences to enjoy before the inevitable thaw begins.
