Tips before visiting skating rinks in Bucharest:

1. Check below whether the skating rink you want to visit is open. Unfortunately, due to organizer decisions, some rinks don’t open every year—or changes may happen without notice.

2. Check the schedule, because all skating rinks in Bucharest need breaks between sessions to clean and resurface the ice.

3. Bring warm winter clothing, quality skates, gloves, and ideally a protective helmet. You can buy equipment at reasonable prices from Decathlon.
