Accommodation Plavecký stadion Podolí

Would visitors like to swim in one of the iconic places during their stay in Prague? Then visitors will gladly be invited to the complex of the swimming stadium in Podolí, which has hosted major sports competitions in the past. Mention could be made, for example, of the Czech Swimming Championships or the European Junior Swimming Championships. Furthermore, visitors can go to refresh and stretch here in any weather, as there is also a covered section that can be used in winter. Due to the strategic location of the sports facility, it is easily accessible on foot, by car, or by public transport. Visitors simply need to get off at the Dvorce stop and then walk for a few minutes towards the center. The second alternative is then the Kublov stop.

Construction of the Podolí stadium began in 1959. It then welcomed its first visitors in 1965. The architectural appearance of the pools was even contributed to by the renowned architect Richard Podzemný, who focused primarily on the avant-garde in his work. An interesting fact is that there used to be a limestone quarry with a cement plant at this location, which later turned into an unsightly landfill. Moreover, few people know that in the 1980s, the stadium's pipeline was connected to nearby Česká televize, which is based on Kavčí hory. The cold water can totiž be used for cooling studio equipment.

In the event that visitors decide to visit this place, they will surely be glad to refresh themselves in one of the two outdoor pools, which are accompanied by a sufficiently large grassy area for relaxation. Lovers of fast rides will certainly not turn down a ride on the water slide either. If the weather turns ugly, it is possible to move to the indoor covered part, where visitors will feel comfortable throughout the year. Visitors can also try out other additional services here, which include relaxing massages, rehabilitation, and warming saunas.

Accommodation near the Podolí swimming stadium is definitely worthwhile, because visitors will not have to travel lengthily anywhere for swimming and relaxation. Within walking distance of it, there are many pleasantly furnished apartments, guesthouses, and other types of accommodation, so visitors will easily choose their favorite. In the immediate vicinity, visitors will also find the sought-after Žluté lázně, where social and cultural events are also held, a very nice viewpoint not only over the Vltava River called Podolský profil, or the Prague Waterworks Museum. So do not hesitate and book a stay as soon as possible.
