Accessibility of the festival

The Prague Pride Festival strives to be as open and accessible as possible for everyone—without exception. That’s our vision, and while it’s easier said than done, we’re doing our best to make it a reality.

We do encounter limitations—such as historic buildings that are not barrier-free, the financial cost of translations, or staffing constraints for the services we’d like to provide. Still, accessibility remains a constant priority.

We’ve updated our festival website to be accessible for people with visual impairments. Screen readers can now read our articles and the full festival program.

Most festival venues are accessible for people with limited mobility.

Pride Café

Dorado Kinský Café is fully wheelchair accessible, including a barrier-free toilet. There are a few steps from the café to the terrace, but there is an alternative, fully accessible entrance. The staff will gladly assist you.

Pride Cinema

Both the café and cinema spaces at Edison Filmhub are wheelchair accessible. Use the side entrance from Jeruzalémská Street. A barrier-free toilet is available. For detailed info, visit presbariery.cz.

Pride Gallery

Langhans – People in Need Center is partially accessible. Wheelchair users can access the ground floor, and a barrier-free toilet is available (key at the reception). More info at presbariery.cz.

Pride House

The French Institute has an elevator and accessible toilets.

Pride Parade

The route starts at Wenceslas Square and continues through Na Příkopě, Celetná, Old Town Square, Pařížská, over Čechův Bridge, and up the stairs to Letná Park and Pride Park. It’s about 3 km, much of it paved with granite cobblestones. It’s doable in a wheelchair, but assistance is recommended.

After Čechův Bridge, a low-floor tram with AC and a wheelchair lift will be waiting to transport participants with limited mobility to Pride Park Letná (usually Korunovační/Sparta stop). The tram will not stop anywhere else en route—no boarding or exiting during the ride.

Pride Park

The area at Letná is wheelchair, stroller, and crutch-friendly. Surfaces include asphalt paths, lawn, and compacted sand. A barrier-free toilet will be available near the Volunteer Zone, with the key available upon request. In front of the main Red Stage, there will be an elevated platform on the right-hand side for wheelchair users to enjoy the performances. Enjoy a great view of the performing artists!

Pride Village

Střelecký Island is wheelchair accessible via elevator. Accessible toilets are located in the bridge pillar (for a small fee) or portable toilets (free).

Pride Youth

Unfortunately, the historic building of the Scout Institute – Rybárna is not wheelchair accessible.

We’re also thinking about the mental well-being of our participants and sensory sensitivities. Both Pride Village and Pride Park will feature Pride HideOUT powered by Sephora—a sanctuary from the overstimulation of the festival. It’s a peaceful zone with soft cushions, quiet, and earplugs, where you can relax and step away from the noise. Crisis support professionals will be available to talk. Once you’ve recharged, you’re welcome to rejoin the festival in full fabulousness.
