Rome is an open-air museum with a warm attitude to life and a sociable queer scene around the city center and Ostiense. Take this plan as a rough suggestion — in Rome, it's worth setting aside time for strolling.
Trendy district
Around Ostiense and parts of San Giovanni you will find the most queer hangouts; the historic center is busy in the evening anyway.
Best time to visit
Spring and early autumn are pleasantly warm without the oppressive summer heat; in midsummer it gets very hot in the city.
Don't Miss
Colosseum, Roman Forum and an evening walk through Trastevere with its alleys and squares.
