Our planet abounds with places to see and experiences to be had. Those who hate the hassle of planning a trip, but fully enjoy taking them, can even simply take part in gay vacations, allowing them to leave the planning to others, while they enjoy life-changing experiences. And, one of the great things about LGBT tours is that you can take them almost any time of the year, depending on where you plan to travel.
Brazil is one excellent example of an ideal gay travel destination. Rio de Janeiro is home to world-famous beaches, such as Copacabana, as well as the amazing views from Corcovado, which holds the historic Christ the Redeemer at the summit. Exceptional shopping and a lively nightlife are also waiting for those who are looking for a truly memorable time in this beautiful paradise.
If you want an urban getaway instead, you will find much to see and do in the lively city of So Paulo. The city has a legendary LGBT club scene, which is perhaps the largest in the world. There is also unforgettable Brazilian dining, historic museums and top tier shopping at some of the best upscale stores around.
If Europe is more to your liking, gay travel in Spain are a great choice. Barcelona is considered the friendliest LGBT city in Europe, and there is no end to the things to do. If historic architecture whets your appetite, you will not want to miss the awe-inspiring buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi. There is also the Alhambra in Granada and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is also a popular choice for gay vacations, particularly the hot tourist spots of Malaga and Torremolinos.
If you would like to experience local life, there are often village fiestas taking place. While these celebrations are usually religious in nature, they are often quite fun and sometimes continue long into the night. After a long day of exploring, or a long night of partying, settle into a sidewalk caf and watch the people pass as you take in the atmosphere.
Of course, Spain is just one of the vibrant countries Europe has to offer. Another popular destination is France, where travelers can take wine tasting tours through Burgundy, visit the beaches of Normandy, explore the castles of Loire, or simply spend an entirely decadent week in Paris. And, speaking of decadence, there is also London, which should never be missed during LGBT travel to Europe.
Speaking of London, whilst soaking up the sights of merry England, you can see Big Ben, take a cruise on the Thames, visit Buckingham palace, ride the London Eye, catch a show or take a tour of St. Paul's cathedral. If, after all the sight-seeing, you yearn to cut loose, London is home to some of the best LGBT nightclubs in the UK, including Fire, Heaven, Ruby Tuesdays, The Shadow Lounge and more.
If you dream of sun-soaked beaches, ancient ruins and delicious local dishes, the Mediterranean is an ideal location for gay tours or for taking part in organized gay tours. Enjoying the natural beauty of Crete or spending an afternoon haggling in the markets of Athens is a great way to spend time between visits to historic sites. If shopping that is a bit more glamorous is more your style, Athens is also home to plenty of upscale shops and boutiques.
There is also Egypt, which is a land of brilliant blue skies, rolling dunes and rich, vibrant history. Egypt is a truly unique gay travel destination, which promises unending adventures and life-changing experiences. Standing before the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau, you are sure to catch your breath as you consider these icons that date from civilization's earliest days.
There are many exciting options for gay vacations throughout the world. Regardless of whether you choose solo travel to a tourist hot spot, or choose to take part in gay tours that explore exotic destinations, you are sure to make new friends and lifelong memories during your travels.
