18 Stunning Outdoor Ice Skating Rinks Around the World
"Amsterdam's famous canals are only a few yards deep, so winter freezes are rare (and becoming rarer due to climate change), but when it does happen, the Dutch are quick to grab their skates. There is usually some warning that the canals will soon be skateable. When the weather service predicts a big freeze, the city will close off traffic to certain canals to stop the current and help the freezing process. You will have to be extremely lucky to catch the next deep freeze in Amsterdam — the last one took place in February 2021 — but if you do find yourself gliding under the city bridges, it will probably be one of the most unique and special skates of your life." - Travel + Leisure Editors
