**'Jarring in a park': Foreigners weigh in on Austria's relaxed attitude to public nudity**
By Rachel Loxton, 14 Apr, 2026
Austria's laissez-faire attitude to public nudity is a culture shock to many foreign residents and visitors to the country. We asked readers to share their thoughts on baring it all.
Whether heading to a spa resort or visiting the beach, there's one thing you can be sure of in Austria: you will see a whole lot of people.
And by a whole lot we mean fully naked. Freikörperkultur (free body culture) – the German term to describe nudism or naturism – is practiced by many Austrians who enjoy doing activities like socialising, swimming, hiking, sunbathing and even cycling in the nude.
Several FKK beaches are dotted around the country, while saunas are usually "textile free". The idea is to embrace the naked body in non-sexual way. It is also seen as hygienic and healthy to be without clothes, especially when sweating.
So what do foreigners in Austria – and visitors – make of this approach to nudity that is often so different to their home country?
'I like to see people being free'
In a recent survey, the majority of The Local readers said that nudity in public spaces in Austria did not make them feel uncomfortable.
"I enjoy the German style sauna. It's a place to be free of clothes," said Nick, 44, who lives in Vorarlberg. "I like to see nudity, people being free and not bound by societal norms."
On our Facebook post on the topic, George Saliba said: "I like that it represents freedom."
Alison Wareham, 54, who's a frequent visitor to Austria and self-confessed Austrophile, said she thinks nudity makes sense in spas and saunas and has never been bothered by it...

**Naturists no longer welcome at popular Costra Tropical beach bars**
By MJ Arrebola, 14 April 2026
In the heart of the natural area of Maro-Cerro Gordo on the border between the Costa del Sol and Granada province's Costa Tropical Cantarriján beach has always been synonymous with freedom, coexistence and respect. For decades, this corner of Almuñécar has been one of the great references of naturism in Andalucía, a place where naturists and people in clothes have shared space without conflict and with a good atmosphere.
In the last few weeks, this seemingly "unbreakable" good atmosphere has been changed by a decision that has caused conflict between the naturist community and the owners of the beach bars in the area.
The conflict is due to a change of criteria at La Barraca and La Bola Marina beach bars, which - according to the association of friends of Cantarriján naturist beach (AAPNC) - have begun to demand that naturists dress in order to be able to use certain areas or services where, until now, this requirement did not exist or was more flexible.
The association has been working for approximately nine years with the aim of giving visibility to naturism and promoting coexistence on the beach. During this time, they claim to have worked constantly with the beach bars, especially with La Barraca, to establish agreements that would allow naturists to be accepted at the bars....

**World Naked Bike Ride confirmed for London this summer despite growing intolerance towards event**
The World Naked Bike Ride event will return to London on Sunday, June 14
By Megan Howe, April 10, 2026
Cyclists will bare all on London’s streets again this summer as the World Naked Bike Ride rolls back into the capital.
The London leg of the event, which has run annually since 2004 — interrupted only by the pandemic in 2020 — is set to take place on Sunday, June 14.
Drawing thousands of participants worldwide each year, the ride is described as a protest against car culture, oil dependency, and a call for better safety for cyclists on the roads.
But while the event encourages body positivity, it has faced backlash, particularly in recent years following an incident at the WNBR Essex event, where a rider was punched off his bike by a man who reportedly believed ‘perverts’ were cycling through a residential area.
Organisers of the London ride say this year’s route will avoid both Hyde Park and Victoria Park, as they do not have permission from the Royal Parks. They also claim Tower Hamlets officials warned there was a risk of violence if the event passed through Victoria Park.
Criticism has also come from campaigner Emma Jane Taylor, who argues the event operates without adequate safeguarding. She has launched a petition calling for the event to be banned to protect children from involuntary exposure to adult nudity...

**Celebrities Over 50 Who Aren't Afraid to Pose Nude**
From magazine covers to breezy beach snapshots, these stars aren't afraid to bare it all
By Hanna Flanagan and Alex Apatoff, April 8, 2026
Age is just a number when it comes to going au naturel!
While the media frequently presents images of younger, unclothed celebs, there's a league of older stars challenging outdated societal norms by flaunting their bodies in the buff.
In a revealing Instagram post in 2022, former supermodel Paulina Porizkova discussed society's objectification of women while reclaiming her sexuality at an older age.
"In a patriarchal society, women have always been seen as objects of desire or nurture... This is why youth and beauty are such a strong currency," she captioned. "I've come to wonder if objectification falls mainly into the realm of youth. When I was a young model exposing my body, it was because someone else approved of it."
She continued, "Now when I expose my body, it [is] with my full knowledge and consent. Hence, celebration."
From Porizkova's cheeky mirror selfie to here are some celebs over 50 who've struck a pose naked.
