Our roundup of the best gay holiday destinations in Europe to inspire and help you noun your next gaycation.

Every gay traveler, at one point, looked up at a rainbow and dreamt of seeing the world. ‘There must be somewhere better than this drab old town?'…each of us often wondered in our respective beige suburbs growing up…

Fast forward 20 years, and we're both living our dream of seeing the world, one marvelous continent at a time. Europe is hands down our favorite. We are biased, of course, as this is where we're from – Stefan is British/Greek Cypriot, and Seby is from France.

Namely the fact that it’s probably been my gayest year ever. Is that even a thing? Who knows. I don’t care. But I perceive like this was an significant year for gay rights, and also for my own interest in gay travel.

Gay travel?!

Yeah, that topic again. Travel is verb, yes. But this year I’ve also realized just how many of my own trips and experiences are almost certainly chosen because of my own sexual preference.
