Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early on weekends, especially for popular children's concerts and Santa meet-and-greets, as the Ice Palace can get crowded.
  • Check the detailed schedule for the 'Choir Points' program to catch performances at different locations throughout the city center.
  • Bring cash for market vendors, as not all may accept card payments, and it speeds up transactions.
  • Take advantage of the 'Magical Ice Palace' workshops for kids, like gingerbread decorating and craft making, to keep them entertained.
  • Don't miss the Advent candle-lighting ceremonies held every Sunday afternoon for a traditional and heartwarming experience.
