Rome gay guide
LGBTQ travel guide: Rome
When most people believe of Rome, they think of the religious customs and traditions most closely related to the city rather than Gay Rome commute . Despite being more conservative than many other Italian cities, Rome comprises a rich and diverse culture that includes a thriving gay scene. There has been a expansive variety of homosexual bars, events, and clubs popping up in and around the city recently, some of which rival the foremost gay scenes in Europe.

Don't expect too much from all that regarding the gay scene. Be it for reasons of mentality or because of the power of the Vatican, Rome has by far not the unseal and colourful queer experience as other capitals in Europe.
