From January until March, Vienna transforms the park around the Rathaus into a hugely elaborate ice skating rink. The paths and walkways typically occupied by people strolling around the town hall are made into winding ice paths through the trees. It’s beautiful and looks like it would be a ton of fun . . . if I knew how to skate. I’ve been a few times (mostly birthday parties in elementary and middle school) but I have neither particular skill nor talent for it.
