About us

The Gay Atlas is an independent, editorially curated travel guide to queer places and events. We show you where the scene is in each city: gay bars, clubs, saunas, cafés, beaches, gay-friendly hotels and community spaces, plus parties, Prides and festivals.

What you will find here

  • More than 1,000 places in over 100 cities worldwide, from Berlin and Madrid to Tokyo and São Paulo
  • Address, opening hours, crowd and an honest take on who each place suits and who it doesn’t
  • City pages with a map, events and background on the local scene and the legal situation
  • Everything in English, German and Spanish

How we work

Every listing is researched before it goes live and shows the date it was last checked. Our main sources are the venues’ own websites, tips from the community and publicly available reviews. The details, including how we use AI tools, are on How we work.

Independence

Nobody pays to be listed. Some links to booking sites are affiliate links and are labelled as such: if you book through them we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This income has no influence on which places we include or how we describe them.
