TripOut Gay Travel:
Rome
Gay Friendly Rating:
Tolerant and friendly; but be mindful about PDAs.
Sexy, timeless and always bustling, romantic Rome still serves up "la dolce vita."
Rome Fast Facts:
- Gayborhood All of Rome is an art-loving homo traveler's delight, but LGBT life in Rome is flourishing in the trendy Trastevere neighborhood.
- All those waterspouts you see running on the streets around town? Totally drinkable. Romans take so much pride in their water that they drink it, splash it on their faces, and wash their feet in it as often as they can.
- Rome is extremely walkable, but thankfully its subway system hits all the major neighborhoods in town too. Taxi rides with Italian taxi drivers, meanwhile, are life-altering experiences, so buckle up!
- Rome Gay Pride takes place the first week of June. (http://www.romapride.it/)
