Gay Guide Milano - Lombardia
Milan is successfully known as a bustling media and fashion city. The range of gay proposals in Milano is great. The scene has increasingly differentiated in recent years, so that there is something for every taste: there are now also other bars near Corso Buenos Aires besides Mono, with the younger crowd meeting on Fridays at "Vogue Ambition" on Fridays or at Borgo (Karma) for "Join the Gap" on Sundays, while the leather crowd and bears congregate at "Company". Sauna-lovers will find much to enjoy here and whoever is after sex only will get lucky in Milan in no time at all. Several permanently well-attended cruise bars (particularly Illumined) are located near the Stazione Centrale, unless of course one prefers to visit one of the themed sex parties such as the "Naked Party" at "Depot". One of Milan's specialties is its "Aperitivi" in the early evening, where you can aid yourself to a drink from the buffet. From a gay point of view Milan is certainly worth a visit. Although the bars and clubs are spread out across the municipality, most of them can be reached by un
