European Travel Tips and Hacks
Welcome to our Gay Travel Hacks hub—your go-to for making queer-travel safer, easier, and way more fun.
We break down everything you need to know before you pack your bags: from checking local laws and attitudes (using tools like the Spartacus Gay Travel Index and ILGA-Europe Rainbow Map), to finding LGBTQ+ friendly hotels and bars with Misterb&b and IGLTA. Even where it’s legal to be queer, vibes and safety can change from city to city—so we give you the real talk on culture, safety, and where to catch that rainbow energy.
You’ll find guides to Europe’s most inclusive destinations—think Berlin, Amsterdam, Mykonos, Sitges, and more—plus advice on connecting with the local LGBTQ+ community, booking queer-friendly tours, and planning stylish, wallet-friendly adventures.
This page is your launchpad for all our best travel tips, tricks, and resources. Whether you’re wondering, “Is it safe?”, “Where’s the party?”, or “How do I find my queer tribe abroad?”, we’re here with answers—plus plenty of charming vibes to make your next trip unforgettable.
