Steps away from Heroes’ Square in City Park, Europe’s largest artificial alfresco ice rink opens at 5pm on November 20th, awaiting skaters of all ages and skill levels. Backdropped by beautiful Vajdahunyad Castle, the rink provides stunning location for couples to glide and slide hand in hand. Frosty-faced children have heaps of fun and groups of friends enjoy a glass of mulled wine or hot tea during breaks between laps. Winter-sport season is now under way, so don your skates and draw figure eights. Here are a few freeze frames to get you in the mood.
