The Seoul Plaza will operate a skating rink from Friday to Feb. 22, Seoul Metropolitan Government said Monday.
The skating rink has welcomed skaters every winter since it opened in 2004, except for 2016 when candlelight vigils took place at the Plaza.
This time, however, the 5,176-square meter rink is set to greet skaters at an entrance fee of 1,000 won. Foreign tourists who have a “Discover Seoul” pass can use the rink for free.
