There has been a wide variety of gay bars, events and clubs popping up in and around the city recently, some of which rival the leading gay scenes in Europe.

Gay Rome neighbourhoods

Italy as a whole is rather progressive when it comes to LGBTQI rights and freedoms. Still, despite being the capital, Rome is lagging behind a little because of its conservative and religious background. With this in mind, consider keeping universal displays of affection to the bare minimum when outside of the gay spaces in the city.
