Last updated on July 10, 2025
Temperatures are rising and you do not know where to cool off in Prague? We have a few tips on where to go, to refresh and relax during your stay in the Czech capital.
Podolí
Podolí has by far the most famous (and most frequented) swimming pool in Prague. It has one indoor pool, two outdoor pools, a jacuzzi and a sauna. On the adjoining lawn, which is packed on hot days, you can relax and enjoy the sunshine.
Admission: CZK 300 per day
Koupaliště Petynka

The swimming pool, located very close to the Prague Castle (St. Vitus Cathedral is actually visible from there) is an ideal place for people with children. You will surely appreciate the large toboggan, the playground, table tennis tables and beach volleyball courts.
Admission: CZK 250 per day
Koupaliště Divoká Šárka

Located in a picturesque valley in western Prague, this fenced outdoor pool charms visitors with its simple yet authentic atmosphere. The site is well maintained and offers essential amenities: lockers, changing rooms, toilets, and sun loungers. A small kiosk on-site serves snacks and refreshments. Families will also enjoy the children’s play area and the wide range of sports activities available.
The complex features two large pools fed by a natural spring, with no chemical treatment. The water system works in rotation: one pool is always in use while the other is drained, cleaned, and refilled. The result? Constantly fresh and invigorating water in an exceptional natural setting.
Admission: CZK 200 per day
Žluté lázně
Directly opposite the Podolí swimming pool, on the banks of the Vltava River, is an area with a sandy beach, where local people like to spend their weekends. You can play beach volleyball or pétanque, table tennis and other sports, like our very own special favourite – paddleboarding.
If you are courageous enough, you can even take a dip in the Vltava itself!
Admission: CZK 100 per day
Biotop Radotín
On the outskirts of Prague, this natural pool by the river will appeal to eco-conscious visitors. Built on the site of a former water treatment plant, it uses a 100% biological filtration system based on natural elements such as emergent aquatic plants with cleansing properties. The water quality is regularly monitored by health authorities.
The facility can host up to 800 people, and current occupancy can be checked online. On-site amenities include toilets, food stalls, a paddling pool, and play features for children. One side of the pool has a gently sloping entrance with a handrail for extra safety, while the rest is bordered by a shallow ring leading to a sudden drop into deeper water.
Admission: CZK 200 per day
