Experience Prague through a feminist lens while exploring some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, from the National Theatre to Old Town Square. Along the way, meet pioneering Czech women, feminists and activists who fought for access to education, political rights and greater freedom. Hear the stories of figures such as Eliška Krásnohorská and Františka Plamínková, and discover how women contributed to the creation of Czechoslovakia while fighting for equality of their own. This is a small-group, interactive walking tour: expect storytelling, questions, conversation and connections between past struggles and gender equality today. You’ll also leave with my personal recommendations for feminist-friendly cafés, bookstores, cultural spaces and organisations to discover in Prague.

Why we love this experience
- Culture:
This walk exists to put back what the standard version of Prague leaves out. It's the same city everyone walks through — just with the half of its history that usually goes unmentioned finally spoken aloud.
- Community:
Prague Feminist Tours exists because that other half of the story simply wasn't being told anywhere accessible in English. Averil closes each walk with her own recommendations — feminist-friendly cafés, bookstores, cultural spaces, and organisations worth a traveller's time — extending the tour's reach into the city beyond the two hours themselves.
- Participation:
Reviewers describe this less as a guided lecture and more as a conversation Averil hosts — she actively invites the group to share their own knowledge and reactions along the way, rather than simply delivering information at them. That small shift, from being told to being asked, is what participation looks like in a format built around walking and talking rather than a hands-on task.
About the host
Mission
Hi, I’m Averil! I’m French, I’ve been living in Prague since 2019, and my background is in gender studies, gender equality and human rights. When I moved here, I became fascinated by Czech women’s history but I was surprised by how difficult it was to find accessible information about it in English. I also started noticing whose stories were visible around the city, and whose were missing. Only around 5% of Prague streets named after people honour women, while traditional historical narratives still tend to focus on kings, generals and male political figures. That’s why I created Prague Feminist Tours. Through my walks, I bring women, queer people, activists and overlooked social movements back into Prague’s story. My aim is to make feminist history accessible, engaging and relevant and to help people leave seeing both Prague and history a little differently.
Impact
Prague Feminist Tours is a small independent project rooted in local research, feminist values and a love of sharing Prague beyond the usual tourist narratives. My tours bring together travellers, expats and people who live in Prague, creating space for conversation and connection. I also introduce participants to contemporary Czech feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations, campaigns, cultural projects and community spaces, so discovering the city can lead to discovering the people working to change it today. Since launching in August 2023, nearly 2,000 people have joined more than 200 tours. Through special fundraising walks, the project has also raised around 15,000 CZK for Czech NGOs. Prague Feminist Tours was a finalist in the Czech Social Impact Award in 2025 and shortlisted for the Czech SDGs Awards in 2026.
