About MOTOL
The Motol natural swimming pond (Přírodní koupaliště Motol) sits in Prague 5, a few metres from Motol hospital, hidden behind trees, shrubs and reeds off Zahradníčkova street. The pond covers about 4,100 m² and has flowing water. Prague's hygiene service checks the water regularly, and it is consistently rated among the cleanest bathing waters in the city. The lake bed is sandy and drops gently toward the dam, where the water is about 3 m deep. The bathing area is a fairly narrow grassy strip, roughly 20 by 60 m, shaded by mature trees. The right-hand part of the grassy beach is set aside for nudists. The rest of the lawn is a family swimming area with a children's corner, trampoline, slide and sandpit, so clothed and nude visitors share the site with a clear split. There is a lifeguard, and table tennis and volleyball are available. A new year-round building with saunas, changing rooms, toilets, a café and a wellness area was under construction in 2026, and mobile facilities were used in the meantime. Whether the nudist section continues once the building opens has not been announced.
Getting there
The entrance is on Zahradníčkova street, Praha 5-Motol, close to Motol hospital. Public transport serves the hospital area, including the Nemocnice Motol metro station on line B. The official pages do not name a stop, so check the PID planner. Parking near the hospital is limited and is not mentioned by the operator. The walk from the street to the lawn is short and flat. The season runs from 1 May to 30 September, daily from 9:30 to 20:00. Admission was 140 CZK for adults, 80 CZK reduced and 70 CZK after 17:00. Entry was free in the 2026 season while construction was under way.
Amenities
Legal context
Prague City Tourism and the national tourism portal Kudy z nudy both list a nudist beach at Motol, with the right-hand part of the lawn reserved for nudists (seen 2026). Czech law does not ban nudity in public as such. The 2026 rebuild could change the layout, so check on arrival.
Naturism at MOTOL sits under Czechia's rules for officially designated nude beaches — explicit protection inside the marked area.
Naturist status confirmed against an official source on 24 October 2026.
