Out to Skate!


Wiener Eistraum 2008
Viennese Ice Dream 2008


Every year, from January to March, the square and park between Vienna's City Hall and Burgtheater are being transformed into a giant ice-rink, a veritable winter's fairy tale. You can skate to the sound of a Viennese waltz or disco tunes, depending on the time of day. On Sundays, a Jazz brunch may tempt you to step off the ice, and swing a fork. If you'd rather be curling, six curling lanes are beckoning to exert yourself!
At night, the illumination is spectacular.


Oopsie!
Stage fright in view of
the Burgtheater?

No reservations
to see a wonderful show!

Goldie
Enjoying the show!

Special Guest:
Goldie C. Hase
a.k.a. Lindt Gold Bunny.
"C" is for chocolate!

  4. I'm afraid I'd have to be a spectator; it's been years since I was on a pair of skates, and I suspect I'd be landing on my bottom rather than gliding serenely.

  11. Goldie is quite well traveled for a little chocolate bunny! And well dressed too, in her golden wrap with red collar.

    Skating too?
    Too, too early to think of Easter...
    I'm still recovering from last Easter!
    The skating looks nice though :)

  14. How wonderful to be able to skate in such elevated surroundings with all those beautiful buildings all around. I would dearly love to waltz there with my prince charming! Take 50 years of my age and I would be pirhouetting with the best of them.
