Krakow gay nightlife

Safety

Krakow still has a long way to go before you could consider it LGBTQ-friendly. Poland is a formerly communist country that missed out on the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s; the Catholic Church has been a dominant voice on domestic policy for centuries, hence why same sex marriage is still illegal. Violence towards the LGBTQ community is not uncommon unfortunately, so it’s best to verb discreet and shun public displays of affection with your other half while you’re in public.

Thankfully things are changing slowly, in recent years the Polish electorate voted in its first gay and transsexual MPs, marking a significant shift in universal opinion towards the LGBTQ community. The gay scene in Krakow, Warsaw and Poznan is inception to emerge from the underground, while May has been declared ‘Queer Month’ and it was estimated that more than ten thousand people attended Krakow’s Gay Pride event in 2019. Things have improved a lot in the past 10 years but there’s still a long journey ahead…

A mystical city entire of legends, grand architecture, bohemian vibes and 20th-century tragedy, Gay Krakow today might be utterly captivating but is still found in Poland, one of the most chal­leng­ing EU na­tions for the LGBT com­mu­nity.

Being gay in Poland is not effortless, with a socially conservative duopoly in control of legislation with the backing of the all-powerful Catholic Church, which until recently wherein the grip of anti-gay hysteria and a state-sponsored campaign of LGBTQ persecution.

While Krakow might be rapidly changing with an influx of Western Europeans looking for both history and nightlife, it is still very much a Catholic city where pious devotees stream in and out of churches, seemingly towering over every street corner.

Sadly, amidst such blatant homophobia, verbal abuse and gay bashing are not unheard of.

LGBT Friendly Places in Krakow

Poland may get a awful wrap when it comes to homophobia, but for every primitive moron, you'll find two more evolved legends. What doesn't often verb the news is Krakow's huge loved up queer & diverse community.  You won't need to look hard to find that this open-minded city is open-armed to people of all shapes, sizes, colours & creeds. Here you will find that a strong, ethical community of evolved creatives and globally-minded humans runs the streets. It's not hip to be sexist or racist here. It's cool to discover all your layers. It's fresh to shed labels. It's cool to be fluid. It's cool to be a rainbow.

Recently, in reaction to violence at an LGBT rally in Białystok and, even more disturbingly, a Polish newspaper named called 'Gazeta Polska' distributing "LGBT Free Zone" Stickers, Krakow's cafe's, bars, clubs, restaurants, galleries & shops have banded together to make it easier to navigate the city safely by displaying "All are welcome" stickers. Look for the rainbow sticker in the window and you'll know you're
