Prague,
in Czeck 'Praha', doesn't have a gay village. The bars etc are spread around
town, but most are in Praha 1 (Old & New Town), Praha 2/10 (Vinohrady),
and Praha 3 (Zizkov), which are areas in the center of Prague.
Prague
is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated on the
Vltava river in central Bohemia, it is home to approximately 1.2 million
people. Nicknames for Prague have included "city of a hundred spires" and
"the golden city". Since 1992, the historic center of Prague has been included
in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Most
of the gazillion tourists who stroll across Prague’s most-famous landmark
don’t realize it, but the Charles Bridge was built for a king who may have
been a “queen.” Charles IV, who was the backer of much of Prague’s exquisite
14th-century architecture, is believed by gay Czechs to have been one of
their own. Prague, it seems, has been gay-friendly for a very long time.
