Selected sports facilities in Prague free of charge

Prague City Hall is giving visitors and residents to the Czech capital a late Christmas present in the form of sports facilities free-of-charge for the duration of a week. Between December 25th and December 31st people can make use of selected sports facilities - including swimming pools, ice rinks, fitness centres, football, floorball, beach volleyball, squash, table tennis and aerobics facilities - for free. The tradition was launched three years ago and has proved extremely popular with the public. Last year over 15,000 people took up the offer.
