LGBTQ travel guide: Rome
When most people think of Rome, they think of the religious customs and traditions most closely related to the city rather than Gay Rome travel. Despite being more conservative than many other Italian cities, Rome comprises a affluent and diverse culture that includes a thriving homosexual scene. There has been a wide variety of gay bars, events, and clubs popping up in and around the urban area recently, some of which rival the best homosexual scenes in Europe.
Gay Rome neighbourhoods
Italy as a whole is rather progressive when it comes to Diverse rights and freedoms. Still, despite being the capital, Rome is lagging behind a little because of its conservative and religious background.

Gay Bars in Rome
Maybe you wonder why this list of gay bars in Rome is so short. One reason is that pure bars just for drinking and socializing are less common in Italy. When Italians come across their friends, for instance, eating together plays a more important role.
If they go out to the homosexual scene later on, it's rather to the parties or cruise clubs.
Some gay bars, partys and clubs in Rome necessitate a membership card. Often that is the ARCO (Anddos) card. If you don't have an ARCO card yet, you can usually acquire it (10-17 €) at the entrance of the venues that need the card. When you acquire the card you call for to show your photo ID, after that you only need the membership card.
