Prague, the stunning capital city of the Czech Republic, has become a gem of European tourism. The modern city still retains its medieval city center, complete with cobblestone streets and twisting, narrow alleyways where you’ll find a mix of hip and traditional bars and pubs.

One of the city’s most famous landmarks is Prague Castle and Hradcany; originally constructed in the 9th century, it’s the world’s largest ancient castle. Prague’s world-renowned arts scene features a wealth of fine museums including the magnificent National Museum. And don’t forget to check out Prague’s lively music scene; it won’t be hard to find—jazz clubs and year-round festivals are plentiful.

    Prague is a pretty open and laid-back city. Czechs in general tend to mind their own business, and while you won’t see much flamboyance around town, the gay scene is quite hot. A mix of locals, expats and visitors means the clubs keep on top of things, whether it;s design, music or other amenities. We’ve chosen seven places that should not only welcome you with open arms, but show you a pretty good time as well. If you need more information on Prague’s gay scene, check out Saints Bar. A cozy bar, they also arrange hotels, tours and more.
