Our roundup of the best gay holiday destinations in Europe to inspire and help you intend your next gaycation.
Every gay traveler, at one point, looked up at a rainbow and dreamt of seeing the world. ‘There must be somewhere improved than this drab old town?'…each of us often wondered in our respective beige suburbs growing up…

Namely the truth that it’s probably been my gayest year ever. Is that even a thing? Who knows. I don’t care. But I feel like this was an important year for gay rights, and also for my own interest in gay travel.
Gay travel?!
Yeah, that topic again. Journey is travel, yes. But this year I’ve also realized just how many of my own trips and experiences are almost certainly chosen because of my own sexual choice.
