Combining immersive photography with expertly researched travel writing, this is the ultimate guidebook for LGBTQ travelers - whether you're planning your next getaway, daydreaming from the comfort of your armchair, or seeking to learn about queer culture in other parts of the world.. This swoon-worthy guide to the best places and events the queer world has to offer spans the globe, taking you from metropolitan must-sees, like the birthplace of Pride in New York or the world's first gayborhood in Berlin, to lesser-known gems, like a trans designer's clothing store in São Paulo or the first LGBTQ bar in Nepal.. Maartje Hensen and a diverse team of international travel writers have put together information on the best drag shows, Pride parades, and film festivals all around the world, as well as resources regarding laws, restrictions, and cultural attitudes - ensuring that travelers can safely enjoy their sojourns and find community wherever they go.
