Discussion LGBT Travel Experiences in Rio?

[RoamReady]

Hi guys, I was curious if there was anyone from the LGBT community on here who has traveled to Rio de Janeiro. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the scene, and I’d love to hear personal stories about the nightlife, local LGBT-friendly spots, and how welcoming the city is overall. Any tips on safe areas to stay or events to check out would be super helpful too. Looking forward to your insights!

The city has a welcoming atmosphere, and you'll find plenty of LGBT-friendly bars, clubs, and events. It's always a good idea to stay in well-known areas and be mindful of your surroundings, especially at night. Have you considered timing your visit around the Rio Pride Parade?
