Rockefeller Center, New York, USA
The most famous ice rink in the United States and perhaps in the entire world is located in the city's famous business center, and serves as one of the top attractions in New York, probably during the winter months and especially at Christmas.
The Rockefeller surface is not considered to be particularly large, but the breathtaking view from it, to the city's iconic Christmas tree, makes it one of the most unique surfaces in the entire world.

Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
At a height of more than 50 meters, on the first observation floor of the famous Eiffel Tower, stands one of the most beautiful and romantic skating rinks in the world - under one of the most iconic symbols of France.
The view from the skating rink in Paris is extraordinary, and includes unique historic buildings (including the famous Golden Dome), countless couples in love and of course lights in all colors and shades.

Rido Canal, Ottawa, Canada
You will find the longest natural skating rink in the world in the Canadian capital.
The length of the unique surface, declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, is almost eight kilometers and is used by both locals who slip into their workplaces and tourists who come especially to the canal to be impressed by its size.
Throughout the winter months, along the canal, you will find food stalls, cafes and even an impressive open-air gallery.

English Surface, Yale University, USA
It is not clear whether this is a skating rink or an architectural classic.
The surface at one of the most renowned universities in the world was built at a cost of $ 1.5 million in the 1950s in an unusual structure, dubbed the "Whale".
It is mainly used by Yale ice hockey teams and is not open to the general public.

The ice surface in North Korea
The huge area built in 1982 is considered to be the largest in the country, with 6,000 seats.
It is mainly used by local hockey teams, but has also previously hosted figure skating competitions.
Every year in February, there is an international ice skating festival and in the past other sports competitions were held there, such as tennis, basketball and more.
