Where to Skate This Christmas in Sevilla
Hey Seville lovers! If you’re dreaming of gliding on ice with stunning views of the Guadalquivir River at the iconic Muelle de las Delicias, we’ve got some news: the beloved Sevilla On Ice winter theme park won’t be returning to its traditional spot this holiday season (2025-2026).
For the second year in a row, the massive Christmas park – famous for its huge natural ice rinks, giant Ferris wheel (once the tallest in Seville!), over 25 thrilling rides, toboggan runs, food stalls, and that unbeatable festive vibe across 80,000 square meters – is on hiatus at Muelle de las Delicias. Organizers had hoped to bring it back after last year’s pause, but as of now, no installation has been confirmed there.
The good news? Seville’s Christmas spirit is still going strong with plenty of alternative ice skating spots to keep the holiday fun alive! Don’t let the mild Andalusian weather stop you from channeling your inner ice prince or princess.

Sevilla On Ice has been a holiday staple since 2018, turning the riverside dock into a winter wonderland every year (except the last two). Fingers crossed it makes a triumphant return in 2026 – organizers have expressed excitement about planning bigger and better for the future!
In the meantime, bundle up (lightly – it’s Seville, after all!), grab some churros or hot chocolate, and hit one of these rinks for laughs, falls, and pure joy. Christmas in Seville is all about lights, traditions, and making memories – ice or no ice!
