There’s nothing like packing your bags and taking off into the unknown. But sometimes, when it’s too unknown, it can also be a bit nerve-wracking. Ease any worries you may have with tips and insights on how to prepare, what to expect and what you can look forward to.
Familiarise yourself with your destination’s LGBTQIA+ laws, from constitutional protection against discrimination to criminalisation of same-sex acts. You can see national laws here.
Plan your trip around an LGBTQIA+ event – you’ll be surrounded by fellow community members. Check out some events on our global calendar.
Stay at an LGBTQIA-friendly property or an LGBTQIA-owned accommodation for a more inclusive experience and to support the community.
From big cities like Amsterdam and New York, to warmer getaways like Malta and Thailand, we have a gay guide waiting to entice you. Find out the best gay neighbourhoods and villages, bars and clubs, stays and hangouts, and parties and events. Let the fun begin.
