Ice Bars

[mfdds]

We would like to visit an ice bar in one city. Has anyone a recommendation which city has the best one, and is a reservation needed?

The only 2 I know of in the Baltics are in Copenhagen and Stockholm. I've looked up reserving for Stockholm, but they are booked by other cruise tours. They do have times for walk ins, but they are usually at night after the ship has left. Your best bet to get into one is probably through a ships tour, but it's pretty pricey.

If you e-mail the Nordic Hotel in Stockholm, you can see if there are any spots. We were about to get a 12;45 time because the rest of the times are booked by the cruises. Good luck.

We were able to make a reservation at the Ice Bar in Copenhagen. It was not blocked up (at least yet) by ship's tours.

You didn't say what your ports of call are and where you are sailing from. If you are in LOndon for a day or so there is one there as well.

Your best bet is to look on each ice bar's website and see what times they are open and make a reservation that way. Definately a good idea to make one.

Unfortunately, you can't get there easily by cruise ship. And it's seasonal. But the best one is at Jukkasjärvi in Sweden, in the Icehotel.

I was able to make a reservation at the Ice Bar in Copenhagen for August 12. We are going to be there a couple days ahead of our cruise. Emailed one day, got the confirmation the next :). It looks like it is located less than two blocks from Tivoli.

Stupid question... I think I am allowed one a day here...;)

 

Can you take photographs inside? I was thinking about the cold and wondered if it would work or hurt the camera.

 

I am thinking about doing this precruise since I am in Copenhagen two days.

There was no restriction on taking photos in the one I went to. All our cameras worked fine, although it's always possible that you'll need to warm up the batteries if they start feeling the cold. But it really isn't that cold inside. Some of my photos are here.

There is also one in Amsterdam if that is your city of departure.

NEAT! I was trying to imagine it 5 degrees below, and I had no clue if you could photograph in that kind of weather. I am pumped.

Our cc roll call group met in the Copenhagen Ice Bar at Hotel 27. We had a reservation made online. I took some great photos inside.

We will be in Copenhagen on Wed. August 20, 2008 from 8:00-5:00. I have tried to e-mail the Ice Bar at Hotel 27 for a reservation but I must not have the correct e-mail address. Can you help me? Thanks

Go to the group reservation email and give it a try. Copy their email address and send it through your regular email instead of their site. Otherwise phone them.

Here is the address I used last week. I got a reply with confirmation the day after I sent it. Icebar@hotel27.dk

I have 11 feet of snow this winter and my camera worked fine.

[Coastaljen]

OK. I figure I can keep my camera under my coat to keep it warm when I am not taking photos. ;)

 

ll ft.. ugh.... I have to water my palm tree right now because it has been hot.
