LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — HIGH RISK

LGBTQ+ symbols and advocacy criminalised as "extremism" — discretion essential

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Do not use LGBTQ+ dating apps — police entrapment via apps is documented. If you must, install a VPN before arrival.
Avoid carrying LGBTQ+ identifiers (flags, books, screenshots) in luggage.
Phone searches at airports can include checks for LGBTQ+ content — delete sensitive chats/photos before crossing borders.
If travelling with a same-sex partner, present yourselves as "friends" or "colleagues"; book separate hotel rooms for safety.
Use Signal or Wire for sensitive messaging — not WhatsApp.
Keep emergency cash (USD/EUR) and two separate payment cards.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.

I decided to check out the positive reviews of the Orly sauna I visited two years ago. Once again, I realized that staff is everything. Different people, a completely different atmosphere, a different attitude, and it's a very pleasant experience. Now I recommend it to everyone. I won't be embarrassed to say I was there.

Clean, cozy, and pleasant atmosphere. Quiet and conveniently located. The sauna is open 24 hours a day. Prices are affordable for central Moscow. Discounts and bonuses available. Friendly receptionists. Delicious cuisine. Come, you won't regret it!
