When I was little, I used to come here regularly in the winter, working on my then still shaky skating skills and, the suburban kid I was, learning to appreciate passing time in the city.
Wiener Eislaufverein is situated right in Vienna's core, and as you skate along you even get a nice view of another point of interest: Vienna's Konzerthaus. Both Stadtpark and Akademietheater are located in walking distance, so depending on how well your hands, feet and nose are coping with the cold, you can choose between taking a winterly walk through the park or going for a theatre visit to round up your day - I bet their wardrobe also accepts skates along with coats.
