Gay Milan — Your Complete Guide

Everything worth knowing before you go.

Milan is Italy's most cosmopolitan gay city. The Porta Venezia neighbourhood — centred on Via Melzo and Via Lecco — is one of Europe's densest gay districts, with over fifteen bars, clubs, saunas and shops within walking distance of each other. The city's fashion industry, design culture and northern European sensibility have produced a scene that is more diverse, more night-life oriented and more internationally connected than anywhere else in Italy. Milano Pride, held annually on the last Saturday of June, draws 100,000+ to the city centre. Year-round, Porta Venezia is alive seven nights a week.
