German city legalises public nudity after declaring six 'urban naked zones

The German city of Munich has given people the go-ahead to get naked in public.

Officials have declared six designated areas where naturists are welcome to strip off and show their bums and other bits without risking arrest.

But while these nudist spots offer some privacy, they are not fenced off or hidden away.

Instead they are in parks and one is only 10 minutes away from the city's main square and a stream popular with tourists.

The city, the third largest in Germany, brought in the "urban naked zones" after previous laws on nude sunbathing expired in Bavaria during the autumn.
