Gay area prague

Hi all -

I am planning a trip to Prague in 3 weeks. I am trying to get accomodations at a gay-friendly place... any suggestions? I see 'Pension Arco' come up. But I am not sure if it is a traditional guesthouse or if it is more like jsut a network of apartments in various builidings.

Any advice will be helpful.

Have an upcoming trip to Prague and am planning on renting an apartment for a rare days. For those who have been, how close is the gay quarter to the historic district by walking and/or bicycle?

On a side note, I was tempted to manual this place just for the sheer hilarity of it all, but then realized it was a bit secluded.

Errr, well, not sure about Villa Mansland, lol...but if you don't go the apartment route, I highly recommend the Hotel Perla (http://www.perlahotel.cz/en/).

Despite the Bel Ami images in your head, the gay scene in Prague is actually quite small. Most of the bars are located 5-10 min walk behind the beautiful National Museum at the top of the main Wenceslas Square (which is more of a boulevard than a square). If you were staying near the bottom of Wenceslas, it is very walkabl

Prague is an undeniably pretty city! An easy contender for the most beautiful city in Europe.

Its perfectly preserved Gothic spires loom high over vivid Baroque buildings, medieval churches, world-renowned museums, cobblestone streets, and bustling, bar-filled squares. The Vltava River runs gracefully through its center, winding under Charles Bridge and past the world's largest castle complex.

Of the Core and Eastern European countries, the Czech Republic is one of the most LGBTQ-friendly. Its capital city has a well-established gay scene with bars, clubs, and cafes, most of which are located in the neighborhood of Vinohrady. Since 2011, Prague has celebrated Identity festival every summer in mid-August, attracting hundreds of thousands to the weeklong festivities. All of this contributes to making Prague the famous LGBTQ+ travel destination it has been for decades, and will no disbelieve continue to be for decades more.

About Prague and its lgbtq+ life

Prague, picturesquely situated on the Vltava River, is the capital of the Czech Republic. In the 14th century it became the heart of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation under Emperor Charles IV and a center of art, culture and politics. This period saw the establishment of the first university in Central Europe, the laying of the foundation stone for the St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle, the building of the Charles Bridge and the creation of the New Town.

For centuries, Prague has been a melting pot for Czech, German and Jewish culture. Around 1900 it was the residence of many artists and writers, including Franz Kafka, Max Brod, Rainer Maria Rilke and Franz Werfel, to name but a few.

Today's cityscape is dominated by buildings from all major periods of art history: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau, and even Cubism, which uniquely found its way also into architecture only here.

With its history, the prosperous cultural heritage and the romantic streets in the Old Town, Prague had always been an attractive destination for travellers.
