Žluté lázně

Žluté lázně is a recreation and lido area on the banks of the Vltava River in Prague, stretching across a longer section with different zones. It features grassy areas, sandy beaches, multiple sports courts for volleyball and football, table tennis tables, and a swimming section directly in the river.

The site began in the early 1900s as a simple bathing place on the riverbank to give Prague residents access to water. Over time it grew into a multi-purpose recreation center with added sports facilities and spaces for events.

The name comes from the yellow color that once marked the buildings, and today it serves as a popular gathering spot where locals come to swim, relax, or attend concerts. People use the grass areas for picnics and the sandy sections for sunbathing, giving the place a casual and social character.

Visitors should come during the warmer months when all areas are open and usable, and bring sturdy footwear since sand and grass areas have different ground conditions. The river can flow quickly and is not always warm, so caution is needed when swimming.

On hot summer days you can see people playing in table tennis tournaments or training on volleyball courts right next to modern high-rise buildings, showing how the place mixes urban closeness with escape from the city. This combination makes it especially popular with workers and students looking for a quick break.
