I’ve been researching destinations with active LGBT nightlife, gay villages, saunas, cruising areas and generally open-minded environments, and I came across a list that actually made a lot of sense based on places people constantly mention in travel forums. The cities that keep appearing on almost every list include:
• San Francisco – The Castro is probably the most famous gay district in the world. Tons of bars, clubs, saunas, and cruising spots. Pride there is huge.
• Amsterdam – Very tolerant culture and lots of nightlife venues including gay bars, fetish clubs, saunas and gay cruising clubs. The city has a long reputation for sexual freedom.
• Berlin – One of Europe’s most open nightlife scenes. Areas like Schöneberg and Kreuzberg have famous gay clubs, darkrooms and fetish venues.
• Barcelona – GayEixample district is packed with bars, clubs, saunas and massage venues. The beaches also have cruising areas in summer.
• Rio de Janeiro – Ipanema’s Farme de Amoedo area is known as the gay beach zone. Plenty of nightlife, saunas and party culture.
• Puerto Vallarta – Probably the most famous gay destination in Mexico with lots of clubs, beach parties and cruising spots near Playa de los Muertos. Many of these cities also have gay escort scenes, cruising bars and adult nightlife districts, especially around major nightlife areas. Another interesting thing mentioned in the article is that nightlife districts often have sex shops selling things like condoms, toys and poppers, which are commonly associated with club scenes. Of course anyone traveling should always take STD precautions and practice safe sex. If anyone is curious about the full breakdown and nightlife details for each city, I found it in this guide: https://www.wikisexguide.com/wiki/Gay_and_lesbian_travel
