Ice Rink

Ice Rink Invites You to Glide

Until March 2, you can experience the joy of ice skating at Tartu Town Hall Square. For the fifth season, a stunning ice rink, spanning nearly 1,000 square meters, surrounds the iconic Kissing Students Fountain. It’s the perfect spot to practice your spins or simply glide beneath a canopy of twinkling lights that mimic a starry night sky.

Ice Rink is open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM.

Free skating lessons are also held on the ice rink every Wednesday from 6 to 7 PM and every Sunday from 11 AM to 12 PM. Both beginners putting on skates for the first time and more experienced skaters looking to learn something new are welcome.

December 25 and 26: 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM
