From November the 15 to December the 23rd, 2024, the municipality of Hafnarfjörður, in collaboration with Bæjarbíó, will operate Hjartasvellið, a 200 m² ice rink for people of all ages. The rink was first opened during Advent in 2021 and thousands have enjoyed skating together in the heart of Hafnarfjörður since then. The ice-skating rink is located on the Town Hall Square, in front of Bæjarbíó and Hafnarfjörður´s Library, thus connecting the Christmas Village in the city center and the lights in Hellisgerði. It is ideal to visit Hafnarfjörður´s Library after the ice skating trip, warm up with a beverage and enjoy a good book.
The ice-skating rink is 100% eco-friendly as no water or electricity is used to freeze it. The rink is built on specially designed artificial ice sheets that have the same properties as regular ice, offering great activities, experiences and exercise for the whole family. Ice skating tickets are for sale at tix.is, including rental of skates and helmets. Each skating trip is 40 minutes long and starts every full hour. It is important to arrive on time to avoid queues. It is possible to buy up to eight tours for 4.000 ISK in a special family package and the discount is calculated automatically at checkout.
