Rest and relaxation

You can also be sustainable when it comes to relaxation in Prague. Swap energy-intensive indoor pools and aquaparks for biotope swimming pools and take your children to an eco-centre instead of a theme park.

  • The essence of the biotope lies in the biological way of maintaining clean water, without chemicals, by the action of aquatic plants and natural ecosystems in the filtration lagoons.
  • Prague Forest Centre - ecological centre in the north-eastern part of Prague
  • Prazelenina - a vegetable-growing club with a café. The trend of connecting gardening and social activities is now spreading to other parts of the city.

Biotope swimming pools

You can also choose environmentally sustainable options for cooling off on hot days. Water conservation is represented by so-called biotope swimming pools. They do not contaminate the water with chemical substances, they ensure its purity simply by mechanical means and maintain the necessary quality by strictly regulating the number of visitors. There are two in Prague: in Radotín and in Lhotka.

Ecological centres with petting zoos

If you are interested in passing on the values of sustainability to your children, visit one of the ecological centres, such as Toulcův dvůr in Hostivař or the eco-centre Prales in Kbely.
