Antwerp
Belgium
Antwerp may be Belgium’s fashion capital, but it also struts confidently as a gay destination. The Red Light District doubles as the city’s gay village, with bars, clubs, and saunas clustered together. Add a lively Pride, a stylish crowd, and enough beer to sink a ship, Antwerp is small, chic, and never dull.

Brussels
Belgium
Brussels may be the EU’s buttoned-up capital by day, but after dark it swaps politics for parties. Around Rue du Marché au Charbon, gay bars spill onto cobbled streets, from cozy cafés to cruisey basements. Add Belgian beer, drag flair, and a Pride that punches above its weight—Brussels surprises.
