Is Public Nudity Legal in Czech Republic?
ListedUnclear: no authoritative source found· Checked by Reto Pascal Wyss
The status is unclear: no Czech law we found addresses nudity directly, and no official source we found says whether simple nudity is lawful. The Offences Act punishes anyone who 'causes public outrage', and the Criminal Code punishes 'gross indecency' committed in public.[1][2]
Main provision: Zákon č. 251/2016 Sb., § 5 odst. 1 písm. e) (veřejné pohoršení); Trestní zákoník č. 40/2009 Sb., § 358 (výtržnictví)
Designated nude beaches or tolerance?
We found no official designation of nude beaches. The Czech-Moravian Naturist Federation (ČMFN) refers to nude-beach spots around Prague and an FKK beach at Pasohlávky.[3][4]
Private naturist clubs and resorts
The ČMFN is the national naturist association and the INF-FNI member for Czechia.[3][5]
Penalties
Causing public outrage is an administrative offence with a fine of up to CZK 10,000 (§ 5(3)(b) of Act 251/2016). Gross indecency or disorderly conduct in public is a crime punishable by up to 2 years' imprisonment (§ 358(1) of the Criminal Code). No source we found says when nudity alone meets either test.[1][2]
