GAY BUDAPEST

Budapest it's an amazing city with lots of things to offer but you must look deeply and make your way around there. Gay venues could be sometimes hard to find, but we will help you and give you some advice. At the same time it is one of the fastest growing cities in Eastern Europe for the gay market . They hold a Gay Parade and a Gay & Lesbian film festival every year.

Hungarians are not so get used to PDA (Public display of Affection) so if you feel romantic and want to kiss your partner or simply hold her/his hand and take a walk , I recommend you to check your sorroundings and use your common sense.
