Ice Skating in Prague

Ice skating is a cheap sport that can be enjoyed for very little cost. The entry cost is generally around 50 CZK which most of the times is half for children. Ice skate rentals are inexpensive but if required you can also buy ice skates at stores like Hervis Sports, Sportissimo, Giga Sports or any other large sports store.
