About Prague and its gay life

With its castle, the bridges along the Vltava river and the romantic streets in the Old Town, Prague had always been an attractive destination for travellers. But after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 it became one of the most visited and talked about cities in Europe. Partly because it was cheaper than traditional, overrated destinations, but mostly because of its special charm from past centuries. (Our Pictures might give you a first impression.)

This charm didn't get lost during World War II and the following communist period and it had been exposed to the modernisation of the 1950s and 1960s less than in many other European cities. Many buildings, though, were in bad shape. In 1992, the UNESCO included the historic center of Prague in its list of World Heritage Sites, which is now almost perfectly restored.

Nevertheless, as amazing, unique and fairytale-like Prague might be, hopefully the city will not rely exclusively on its old charm in the future.

As you can see on our Prague gay maps Overview, Vinohrady and City Center, there is no gay epicenter in Prague. But as the Vinohrady district tends to become the hedonist's and stylish quarter of Prague you will find most of the gay bars and clubs there. Also, if you are tired of the uninspired and heavy Czech cuisine and the gastronomical tourist's traps in the Old Town of Prague, Vinohrady is the district to go for dining out.
