Amsterdam
🕐 Local time
Amsterdam is the original gay-friendly capital of Europe, a city where tolerance is woven into the urban fabric itself. The historic gay street Reguliersdwarsstraat, the world's first monument to victims of homophobia (the Homomonument) and the one-of-a-kind Canal Parade — a parade of boats along the canals — make it an essential stop on the world's queer map.
