Share the Love

Unique LGBTQ+ Private Jet Locations

Fort Lauderdale-based private jet provider Monarch Air Group shares the top global LGBTQ+ private jet destinations, providing details that make each location a unique place for relaxation, entertaining and unforgettable memories.

When on vacation, having a good time and making the most of the days is paramount. It would not make sense to travel to an unwelcoming place with excessive rules and policies, especially when relaxing and disconnecting from reality, at least for a while, is on your agenda.

Private jet provider Monarch Air Group shares the most popular destinations chosen by the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to vacationing. In many of these countries, same-sex marriage has been approved. And both Canada and Argentina are the only countries where foreigners can also marry.

1. San Francisco, United States

San Francisco has been considered for decades as the gay capital of the world. So it comes as no surprise to add this bustling city to our list of Top LGBTQ+ Private Jet Destinations. The city is a non-judgmental destination, known for leading the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

In the Castro neighborhood, the flags with the colors of the rainbow and a pedestrian crossing stand strong. There are more than 60 gay bars and clubs in the area, so many attractions await thousands of yearly visitors.

In San Francisco, you will also find the Pink Triangle Park, a monument to honor the LGBT victims of the Holocaust and the GLBT History Museum, the first museum in the United States dedicated to the community. You can also experience the Cruisin ‘the Castro historical tour.

2. Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is one of the best cities to live, not only in Australia but also in the world. So, it is logical that it is also a gay tourist destination: it is modern and cosmopolitan, with many attractions for all audiences.

You can spend your days exploring the city and having a coffee in one of the many shops or visiting the queer bookstore in Fitzroy. The gay scene is new and low-key; it is more about creative cocktails in bars than glitter parties, although there are regular parties if you like to dance!

Amsterdam is one of most gay-friendly destinations in Europe, and one of the most popular in the world. It obtained the title of “Gay Capital of Europe” thanks to its open mind regarding homosexuality. Amsterdam has more than 100 bars, discos, sex shops and stores aimed at the homosexual public. It has 5 gay areas, well differentiated from each other: The Back Side, The Camping Tradition, The Dark Side, The Pink Point and The Vanilla Slice. Each of them has a distinctive appeal.

The City of Light was home to several revolutions that changed the history of mankind. It should not come as a surprise that it is also one of the best LGBTQ+ destinations in the world.

In addition to its incredible famous attractions, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Palace of Versailles and more, in the coolest, funniest and most youthful neighborhood of Paris, Marais, you will find a variety of gay pubs and bars that celebrate the best of life.

You will see old buildings and constructions from the 17th and 18th centuries, which adorn the city with a unique style. Visit the Pompidou Center museum, have a coffee at La Caféothèque and buy all sorts of things in BHV Marais.

6. Cape Town, South Africa

As much as the LGBTQ+ rights fight was recently implanted in South Africa and the African continent as a whole, Cape Town has a fairly strong gay scene. Set alongside Table Mountain, beautiful Cape Town is an open-minded, modern oasis in Africa. Every summer it brings together thousands of visitors to the largest Pride event on the continent.

South Africa legalized gay marriage in 2006 and has since opened the doors for an amazing community. The Gay Pride Parade is the largest on the continent and the party certainly does not stop there; in December, the Mother City Queer Project (MCQP) is celebrated, a parade full of colors and glow.

9. Tel Aviv, Israel

Although Tel Aviv’s nightlife is famous worldwide, this is especially the case when it comes to gay bars and clubs. Shpagat is one of the most popular in the city, with a vibrant 24/7 crowd, while Evita bar is also worth a mention and a visit. Tel Aviv also hosts the only public gay pride parade in the entire Middle East held annually on the first weekend of June.

Locals celebrate Gay Pride Day with a lot of parties, where everyone is very well received, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or age. The parties are busy, with lots of music, drinks, and fun. After the party, during the day you can relax on the beautiful beaches of the city.

10. Buenos Aires, Argentina

In the 90s, the Filo Restaurant was opened in Buenos Aires, the first openly diner respectful of sexual diversity. In fact, one of the waitresses was transsexual, something quite transgressive in the nineties, especially in South America. This restaurant served as an example and has been followed by many others.

The creation of the Gay Lesbian Chamber of Commerce of Argentina followed, with the aim to partner LGBTQ+ friendly businesses with different industries. So yes, Buenos Aires is one of the best LGBTQ+ destinations in the world and arguably the finest in Latin America.
