About Rome and its gay life
Rome is a controversial place for gay men. Remember your gay fantasies when you watched those movies with Roman soldiers and gladiators? See the whole planet admiring the sculptures of gorgeous men by same-sex attracted artists in Rome's museums? Capital of Italy, a big, free and democratic country? 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 open and colourful gay life as other capitals in Europe.
But the situation has started to change with fresh generations of more unwrap and self-confident gay men and women. This is especially evident at the big annual Pride manifestation in June and at the LGBT festivals in the summer. And, of course, there are also some g
LGBTQ travel guide: Rome
When most people consider of Rome, they think of the religious customs and traditions most closely related to the city rather than Gay Rome explore. Despite being more conservative than many other Italian cities, Rome comprises a rich and diverse culture that includes a thriving homosexual scene. There has been a spacious variety of same-sex attracted bars, events, and clubs popping up in and around the city recently, some of which rival the optimal gay scenes in Europe.
Gay Rome neighbourhoods
Italy as a whole is rather evolving when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms. Still, despite being the capital, Rome is lagging behind a little because of its conservative and religious background. With this in brain, consider keeping common displays of warmth to the bare minimum when outside of the same-sex attracted spaces in the city.
Gay Street
The first stop for many gay tourists heading to Rome will be Gay Lane (otherwise known as Via di San Giovanni in Laterano). You’ll find Same-sex attracted Street directly other side the Colosseum, and although it isn’t entirely geared towards the gay scene, as the designate might suggest, there are numerous trendy gay bars along this street.

Coming Out Bar
We visited Coming Out bar during Roma Pride and found that it was a amazing option to suspend out during the day for drinks and food.
The diet menu stood out with Paninis categorised into ‘Jock’, ‘Wolf’, ‘Daddy’, ‘Twink’ and so on. This put a flash on our tackle . Of course, there are plenty of pasta and pizza options on extend as well.
For drinks, this place is incredibly reasonable for Rome (Rome is expensive!).
Drinks range from €5 for an Aperol Spritz, a must have, to €6 for usual cocktails and €8 for something a bit more fancy.
In comparison, head into the posh tourist bars and you are looking at €10-20 for an Aperol Spritz.
When it gets later on in the evening Coming Out lock occasionally puts on events such as drag sho
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 meet their friends, for instance, eating together plays a more important role.
If they leave out to the gay scene later on, it's rather to the parties or cruise clubs.
Some gay bars, partys and clubs in Rome call for 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 require the card. When you acquire the card you need to show your photo ID, after that you only need the membership card.

Gay bistro-cafe and cocktail lounge. Its street terrace – from which you can see a part of the nearby Colosseum – is very popular and engaged in the late evenings, especially on Friday and Saturday. Rather young and middle-aged crowd.
During the day mixed clientele, mainly tourists.
Upmarket gay-friendly Bed & Breakfast on the second floor.
