Prague’s lesbian scene may not be as upfront and raunchy as its male counterpart but the city’s famed tolerance and liberalism applies just as much to the lesbian side of things. The country recently legalized same sex partnerships and lesbian couples will not encounter prejudice here. 

Most of the gay bars and clubs are open and welcoming to women and some have specific lesbian nights.  But the scene is not only restricted to drinking establishments, there are cultural events and meetings taking place all the time and a number of groups dedicated to looking after the needs of lesbians.    

BARS AND CLUBS

The somewhat ramshackle but friendly JampaDampa probably has the largest lesbian presence of all the bars and is particularly popular on weekend nights.  This place is definitely worth a look.  Friends have a lesbian party on the last Friday of every month that is very popular.  Of the gay clubs both Valentino and Termix are also popular with lesbians although the men are certainly in the majority here.  Two places that are often mentioned on out of date internet sites, A-club and Maler, are respectively not lesbian, and gone straight.

CULTURE AND EVENTS

This film and music-loving city has many cultural options for the lesbian visitor including an annual film festival, a lesbian-themed art gallery and occasional lesbian-themed theatre productions.  Rozdilne Rytmy (different rhythms) is a lesbian group that organises trips, lectures, sport actions, and film viewings and there is also a lesbian sport club meeting every week.  There are also events at the Gender Studies Library.  For those wishing to meet other lesbians before a trip commences you can try the personals website: www.lesba.cz..personals.  For further information on the lesbian scene, visit www.bengales.cz and www.rozdilnerytmy.gl.cz.
