Berlin

Berlin

SmartTravel recently released their top picks for LGBTQ travel destinations. Chosen on the basis of LGBTQ history and current social/political climates, they found the best locations for queer travelers.

The 2017 winning destination was Berlin. With a rich LGBTQ history dating back to the 1920s, the culture has survived through Nazi occupancy among many obstacles. Currently, LGBTQ travelers can find a vibrant nightlife and queer-friendly accommodations.
