About Lisbon and its gay life
Since the s Lisbon (Lisboa) became one of the new hot spots for travellers in Europe. It was European Capital of Tradition in , in the Earth Expo was held in Lisbon and in the European Football Championship.
Vivid, small and steep historical streets, modernised areas, an extensive nightlife till premature morning and a fresh breeze from the sea even in warm summers make Lisbon a pleasant place for relaxing, sightseeing and going out altogether.
Lisbon's gay scene also became very European. Especially in the Príncipe Real area and in the old Bairro Alto quarter you can find a very noticeable gay life at night. In Bairro Alto it is pleasantly difficult to say which bars are gay or gay-friendly or hetero-friendly or whatever.
Annual gay highlights and big events in Lisbon are the Bear Pride in May, the Marcha do Orgulho LGBTI and Arraial Lisboa Pride in June, the film festival Queer Lisboa in September and the huge technology conference Web Summit in November.
