Some days may be frigid in Montreal, but that doesn't mean you should let the chance to skate at one of the city's top rinks slide by this winter. You can bundle up for a turn outdoors under a city landmark, or glide on the ice inside the tallest building downtown. Here are some of the best skating rinks in Montreal for you to discover.
Imagine gliding on ice with your longtime best friend while light snow falls gently over your hair and shoulders. You make eye contact and laugh together, and at that moment you realize it: you're in love.
Brrr! Do you feel those chilly temperatures out there? The beginning of winter can be a real mood killer, so our city is offering a free experience in the Quartier des Spectacles to brighten your dreary days. From December 1 to March 5, 2023, Montrealers can celebrate the icy season with the return of the popular Luminothérapie installations. The centrepiece this year is an interactive experience on downtown's Esplanade Tranquille skating rink.
Winter weather is here and things may seem a little bleak, but you can add some colour to your life again thanks to Luminothérapie downtown. The 13th edition of the popular interactive installation is on from December 1, 2022, to March 5, 2023.
Hoping to attract tourists this holiday season and beyond, officials have unveiled this year's winter programming for downtown Montreal. Plans include the 13th edition of the popular Luminothérapie installations, a "half-million light trail" through the city and the return of the Esplanade Tranquille skating rink. At 1,500 square metres, it's over twice the size of the famous rink in New York City's Rockefeller Centre (669 square metres).
