Gay Travel Guide to Prague

Prague is the most beautiful city in Europe. Ok, that may be up for debate, but it is certainly a hot contender. Its perfectly preserved Gothic spires loom high over bright Baroque buildings, medieval churches, world-renowned museums, cobblestone streets, and bustling, bar-filled squares, while the Vltava River runs gracefully through its center, winding under Charles Bridge and past the world's largest castle complex. And, of all the Central and Eastern European countries, the Czech Republic is one of the most LGBTQ-friendly. Prague has a well-established gay scene teeming with hot Czech men being all hotly reserved in the bars, clubs, and cafes located in the neighborhood of Vinohrady. From churches and cathedrals to underground clubs and riverside beer gardens, here's our guide to show you that Prague's beauty is more than just skin deep.

Taken for a Ride – The 6 Best LGBTQ+ Friendly Theme Parks Across the Globe

It’s a shame there have never been any specifically LGBTQ+ theme parks in the world… well, unless you count the ill-fated “Gay World” of Singapore back in 1937—but I don’t think that’s what they meant by “gay” at the time. However, most theme parks boldly claim to be welcoming to all, irrespective of sexuality or gender identity, with some going that extra step when it comes to being inclusive and supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. ‘Gay Days,’ Pride marches, and inclusive policies push some of these theme parks ahead of the pack. So, fasten those bars—you knew that metaphor was coming—as we visit the most LGBTQ-friendly theme parks in the world.
