For a focused 45-minute sub-zero experience, the standard entry ticket is the best value, covering your thermal gear and first drink. If you are exploring multiple Stockholm landmarks like the Vasa Museum or Royal Palace, the Stockholm Pass is a superior choice for bundling entry costs.
01
Standard 45-minute bar experience with one drink
Provides the core entry, thermal cape, and ice-glass cocktail at the most competitive standalone rate.
Strict 45-minute session limit: Your time slot is fixed. Arriving late will shorten your experience inside the ice environment, as sessions are timed to manage the bar's small capacity.
Extra drink charges: Most standard tickets include exactly one drink. Refills or a second cocktail in a fresh ice glass are not included and typically cost between 115 SEK and 135 SEK each.
Walk-in price premium: Purchasing tickets at the Hotel C reception desk on the day of your visit is generally more expensive than the online 'pre-booked' rate.
Footwear vulnerability: While thermal capes and gloves are provided, shoes are not. Visitors wearing sandals or thin socks often struggle with the -5°C (23°F) floor temperature before their session ends.
Stockholm Pass reservation requirement: If using a multi-attraction pass (like the Stockholm Pass by Go City), entry is included but you must still secure a specific time slot, which can sell out during peak weekend hours.
Bag and coat restrictions: The bar area is very small to maintain the temperature. Large bags and bulky personal coats must be left in the hotel's lockers or cloakroom, which may require a small fee or a returnable deposit.
Insider tips
4 things to know before your visit
Entrance: The entrance is located inside Hotel C Stockholm at Vasaplan 4. Navigate through the hotel lobby to the dedicated ICEBAR reception desk to check in. Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled time slot to allow for the 'gearing up' process, where staff provide you with a mandatory thermal poncho and gloves. Even with a pre-booked ticket, expect a brief queue at the gear station during peak hours; once admitted, your stay is limited to 45 minutes to maintain the -5°C environment and manage the 60-person capacity.
Price: Official pre-booked tickets for adults typically start at 215–235 SEK, whereas walk-in or flexible-entry rates are higher, usually around 255 SEK. Partner prices often align with these flexible rates or include service fees, but always verify that your ticket includes the essential thermal cape, gloves, and the signature drink served in an ice glass.
Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
