Walking Tours: ‘Ice Skate Rink’ Rathausplatz, City Hall, Vienna (Video)
It surprised me, but despite the coronavirus lockdown, the ice rink “Wiener Eistraum” on Vienna’s City Hall Rathausplatz was opened. Of course, with the corresponding adjustments, so that as a visitor you can hardly get to the rink. And this time there is no place to buy food or drinks.

Nevertheless, I made a short video so that you can see how things are going in Vienna during COVID.
