Ljubljana gay sauna
Slovenia has blown us away! You have to add it to your gay travel list vertical away!
We arrived in Slovenia as part of Pink Week. This was a 4 day tour of Slovenia in a male lover friendly environment organised by homosexual owned travel company Luxury Slovenia and supported by the tourism board.
Slovenia is perhaps one of the most beautiful, scenic and green countries we have ever visited. Whilst most people will have heard about its neighbours, Austria, Italy and Croatia, we felt that Slovenia was less well known and deserves more attention!
But is Slovenia and its capital Ljubljana, gay friendly? From our experience as a same-sex attracted couple, we felt very welcome and safe in Slovenia. We barely gave being gay in Slovenia a second thought; and that is a good thing!
In fact, it is stated on the tourism boards website: ‘’Slovenia, especially Ljubljana, is friendly and open to all visitors. As guests who are members of the gay and lesbian society, you are welcome here. All the services provided by Slovenia to its guests are also available to you.’’

The city's principal gay evening spot is Tiffany. This Wednesday to Saturday club is most commonly visited by men of all ages. It can obtain quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights. It is located in Metelkova Mesto. The same building also hosts Monokel, a lesbian cafe, which is open on Thursdays and Fridays. Entrance to both clubs is free for foreigners and also for Slovenes who are members. However due to the recent problems that the Metelkova complex has been experiencing with its legal status, both clubs might be temporally closed. Even though K4 (Kersnikova 4) is not gay operated, it remains a epic Ljubljana club that traditionally throws queer parties called "Roza disko" every Sunday. The parties start at 10 p.m. and conclude in the early morning. There are several queer friendly cafes in the city centre, for instance the gay operated Kafetarija Lan on the banks of the Ljubljanica river (Galusovo nabrezje 27) or Gallery Fraga (Mestni trg 15), which is not strictly gay but is frequently visited by queer people. Those who uncover the Slovene climate too cold can warm up in the
