Gay bar venice italy
Venice is one of those places that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.
It’s a unique set of archipelago islands, with only boats and gondolas for transport and many beautiful bridges connecting what used to be over a hundred individual villages.
Once we had arrange foot into the city, we immediately fell in love with its charm and felt prefer we had escaped into some sort of romantic film set.
What’s more, when travelling to Venice, gay travellers like ourselves should feel very welcome.
We spent two nights on our ‘gay Venice’ trip and managed to cover plenty of the city whilst still having a relaxing and enjoyable time.
In this guide we have shared our itinerary of how to spend two days in gay Venice as skillfully as a look into same-sex attracted friendly hotels in Venice, the gay scene (is there a gay bar in Venice?), homosexual rights in Italy and local attitudes.
Is Venice Gay Friendly?
From our experience, yes, Venice is queer friendly. Whilst it may not have a big gay scene, Venice felt safe, LGBTQ amiable and put us at ease.
We had no issues, or even looks,
When we first visited, we were very excited to find a gay block in Venice and spent a lot of day researching ‘gay bars Venice, Italy’.
For such a widespread and trendy destination, we were surprised to discover a lack of queer bars or gay clubs in Venice [no_toc]
In proof, we found that the nightlife scene here is very relaxed, easy going and involves having many Aperols (which we love). Venice is a super romantic city and we found that it was a great option for us visiting as a gay couple.
With that in mind, it’s not so surprising that there isn’t really any gay nightlife in Venice…..or is there..
