Best gay club milan
Our gay guide to Milan has all the information you need including the best gay hotels to stay, bars, clubs and practical safety tips.
London…Paris…Vanity Milan!
Followers of UK/Canada Drag Race will relate…one of our favorite drag queens always inspired a sort of spiritual gay wanderlust in the Italian fashion capital.
And for good reason. Milan is world famous for its fashion. It's a global capital when it comes to its runways and catwalks. What we didn't know is that Milan also has a cute epic gay scene – the largest and best in all of Italy and one of our favorite gay friendly cities in Europe.
Hop off at the Puerto Venezia metro cease, dolled up with rainbows, and head up to the streets around Lecco – gayness is everywhere! On weekends these streets verb alive as the LGBTQ community comes together and creates a fabulous street party. That's why we love it. Few gay scenes we've experienced own such a vibe outside of Pride.
Milan is also residence to an unbelievable number of architectural and artistic treasures &ndash
Gay Milan
Milan's LGBTQ+ scene thrives in and around the vibrant district of Porta Venezia, aptly nicknamed the "Gay Village." Situated just south of Corso Buenos Aires, this neighborhood is the pulsating heart of Milan’s LGBTQ+ nightlife, offering an eclectic mix of iconic venues such as L'Hotel, Le Banque, and The Ritual Club. These spots are perfect for those seeking to experience the city's fabulous nightlife, offering everything from high-energy gyrate floors to chic, relaxed lounges.
The area truly transforms during Pride month, when the streets burst into life with open-air parties and colorful street festivals that celebrate diversity and community spirit. This festive atmosphere extends beyond just the Gay Village, with LGBTQ+ friendly events and queer cultural happenings taking place throughout Milan. Whether you're looking to party the night away, like a quiet slurp with friends, or immerse yourself in cultural activities, Milan's welcoming spirit and vibrant queer community offer endless opportunities for enjoyment and engagement.

Gay Clubs, Parties and Events in Milan
Keep in mind that some of the clubs and parties in Milan have closed in summer, some only in August, some from mid-June to mid-September.
Some gay partys and clubs in Milan require a membership card. Often that is the ARCO (Anddos) card. If you don't hold an ARCO card yet, you can usually acquire it at the entrance of the venues that require the card. (≈ 10 € for three months, 17 € for one year.) When you acquire the card you need to demonstrate your photo ID, after that you only need the membership card.
