After 5 years of being closed for work, the Grand Palais des Glaces has reopened, just in time for Christmas, in festive and magical (so-so) Paris.

Under the impressive glass roof of the Grand Palais is a 3,000 square meter ice rink, which is open every day until 2:00 am.

Skating lessons are offered in the morning, while in the evening the space turns into a disco for endless dancing on ice skates.

Tickets are a bit pricey – they cost from €15 to €35 – but the experience is definitely worth it for ice skating enthusiasts or even those just visiting for a walk.
