Prague Feminist Tours: Discover Prague, Rethink the Narrative

Prague Feminist Tours offers walking tours to discover Prague from a gender perspective. These walks delve into the history of Czech women’s emancipation movements, highlight important feminist figures, and examine urbanism and architecture through a gender lens. Feminist walks of Prague are both educational and touristic tours. Participants get to learn about Czech women’s emancipation while exploring the beautiful sights of Prague. Prague Feminist Tours stands out as the first and only English-speaking tour company in the Czech Republic dedicated exclusively to gender equality topics. It is also committed to spreading knowledge and awareness beyond the cobblestone streets by sharing educational content on social media.

Why on TravaPowa:  Prague Feminist Tours embodies the values of social justice, sustainable tourism, and inclusive storytelling. In a world where history often sidelines the voices of women and marginalized communities, these walks offer an alternative narrative—one that challenges dominant perspectives and empowers new ones.

By bridging tourism with education, activism, and local support, Prague Feminist Tours becomes much more than a sightseeing activity—it becomes a tool for awareness, transformation, and impact.

• Education and Awareness: The tours educate participants about the contributions and struggles of women in Czech history, bringing attention to often overlooked stories and figures. This helps foster a deeper understanding of feminist issues and gender equality. Additionally, by incorporating discussions about environmental issues and sustainability into the narratives, the tours educate participants about the importance of environmental conservation.
   
• Empowerment: By highlighting the achievements of Czech women and the ongoing fight for equality, these tours empower participants, by showing them the possibilities and successes of past and present feminists.
   
• Tourism Innovation: These tours offer a unique, socially conscious alternative to traditional tourism, promoting responsible and educational travel. This can attract visitors who are interested in social justice and support sustainable tourism practices.
   
• Sustainable Tourism Practices: The tours promote walking as a means of exploring the city, reducing the carbon footprint compared to motorised transport options. Plus, our small-group guided tours generally have a lower environmental impact than large-scale tourism operations.
   
• Local Economy Support: The tours emphasise local businesses, particularly those owned by women or promoting sustainable and social practices. Supporting these businesses encourages more environmentally friendly and community-centred economic development.

Feminist Tours are more than just a historical walk—they are a movement towards gender equality and social justice.
