Tuscany is the kind of place that feels like it was made for pleasure - sun-soaked hills, picturesque old towns, incredible food, and a culture that celebrates la dolce vita . For gay travellers, it offers that rare combination of beauty, openness, and authenticity. Whether you’re dreaming of long hikes in the countryside, exploring local cuisine and food culture, or golden sunsets over vineyard-draped hills, here are six great reasons why Tuscany should be on your radar! Reason 1: A landscape straight out of a Renaissance painting Tuscany’s natural beauty is legendary - and for good reason. Imagine gently rolling hills, rows of silvery cypress trees, lush vineyards as far as the eye can see, and quaint medieval towns perched on rugged hilltops… The area around Siena , Pisa , San Gimignano , and the Chianti region is filled with places where time palpably slows down. It’s the kind of landscape that invites leisurely walks, spontaneous detours, and moments you’ll remember long after your trip ends. Reason 2: Food and wine that celebrate la dolce vita Tuscany is a dream for anyone who enjoys good food and drink. Every meal is a celebration of local ingredients - h andmade pasta, slow-cooked sauces, fresh vegetables, wild boar, truffles , and more. And the wine? Rich Chiantis, crisp Vernaccias, and bold Super Tuscans are just the beginning. Whether you’re dining at a rustic trattoria or enjoying a wine tasting at a family-run vineyard, there’s something wonderfully honest and satisfying about eating in Tuscany. Reason 3: A culture that embraces LGBTQ+ travellers While Italy as a whole still has its conservative corners, Tuscany - especially cities like Florence and Pisa - has built a reputation as one of the more progressive and LGBTQ+ friendly regions in the country. Friendly locals, open-minded attitudes, and a growing gay scene in urban areas make it easy to feel at home here. Tuscany might not shout its inclusivity, but it quietly welcomes everyone, and that’s something special. Reason 4: Art and history at every turn Tuscany isn’t just beautiful - it’s culturally rich in a way few places can match. You’ll walk through cities where Renaissance masters once lived and worked, explore Roman ruins , and admire frescoes in little chapels and grand cathedrals alike. From the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the medieval towers of San Gimignano, and the cobbled streets of Siena , Tuscany is a place where history and art are a part of everyday life. Reason 4: Charming towns full of character Each Tuscan town has its own personality. Pisa buzzes with student energy and historic charm . Siena is known for its dramatic Palio horse race and Gothic architecture . San Gimignano rises like a stone fairytale from the countryside . And the ancient city walls of Lucca have enchanted visitors for centuries. Even the smallest villages are full of character - charming cafés, quiet piazzas, and friendly locals who still know your name after one afternoon. It’s easy to feel connected, grounded, and welcome. Reason 6: A place to slow down and connect Tuscany isn’t about rushing from sight to sight. It’s about taking your time - whether that’s watching the sunset with a glass of wine, relaxing by a pool surrounded by vineyards, or having a long conversation over a home-cooked meal. There’s space here to reflect, reconnect, and just be yourself . And when you’re surrounded by like-minded gay travellers , those moments become even more meaningful. Let Tuscany work its magic - with us If this sounds like your kind of escape, we’d love to show you Tuscany the way it’s meant to be experienced. At Guys.travel , we offer group trips created exclusively for gay men – designed for connection, comfort, and a shared sense of adventure. Our gay group tour of Tuscany brings together everything that makes this region unforgettable, without the stress of planning or navigating alone. Check out the full itinerary and join us in discovering the soul of Tuscany - one glass of wine, one scenic view, and one great conversation at a time.

Costa Rica has long been a favourite among nature lovers and adventure seekers - and for good reason. This small but stunning Central American country offers a unique mix of natural beauty, biodiversity , and vibrant culture . For gay travellers looking for a safe, welcoming, and unforgettable holiday, Costa Rica ticks all the boxes. Here are six compelling reasons why your next gay getaway should be to this tropical paradise . Reason 1: Breathtaking nature: volcanoes, rainforests and dream beaches Costa Rica is a wonderland for nature lovers. Picture active volcanoes rising dramatically above the jungle, thick cloud forests teeming with life, and golden beaches where the rainforest meets the sea. Over 25% of the country is protected as national parks, wildlife refuges, or conservation areas , making it one of the most eco-friendly countries in the world. Whether you're ziplining through the treetops, hiking to a steaming volcanic crater, or simply soaking in a natural hot spring, you’ll feel connected to the Earth in a whole new way . Reason 2: Mind-blowing biodiversity Costa Rica is one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet. Although it occupies only about 51,000 square kilometres (roughly the size of the Vermont or twice the size of Wales), it hosts 5-6% of the world’s known species . We're talking about over 900 bird species (more than in all of North America!), around 250 types of mammals such as sloths, monkeys, jaguars, and tapirs, plus 220 reptile species , 180 types of amphibians , and a staggering 1,200 butterfly species . For wildlife lovers, it’s nothing short of paradise. Reason 3: No long distances - just more time to enjoy One of the joys of traveling in Costa Rica is its compact size . With a land area comparable to that of Estonia, you won’t be spending your vacation trapped in a car or on endless bus rides. Instead, you’ll have more time to hike in the rainforest in the morning, relax on the beach by afternoon, and sip cocktails under the stars in the evening. Traveling here is about immersing yourself, not rushing around. Reason 4: Two stunning coastlines to choose from Costa Rica is blessed with two stunning coastlines : the wild, surf-friendly Pacific Ocean to the west , and the lush, Caribbean-flavoured Atlantic coast to the east . Each offers its own vibe - whether you're into beach yoga and sunset cocktails in Tamarindo, or reggae beats and Afro-Caribbean culture in Puerto Viejo. Many beaches remain unspoiled and uncrowded , perfect for a little “you time” or romantic moments with your partner. Sunrise on the Atlantic, sunset on the Pacific - it’s entirely possible in one day. Reason 5: Warm people and a joyful culture The people of Costa Rica, affectionately known as “Ticos,” are known for their hospitality, relaxed attitude, and deep connection to nature . You’ll feel genuinely welcome here. Many locals speak English, especially in tourist areas, and Costa Rica ranks among the more LGBTQ+-friendly countries in Latin America . In the capital San José, you’ll find a small but growing gay scene, plenty of art and culture, and locals eager to share their love for music, dance, and community. Reason 6: Delicious cuisine that surprises and satisfies Costa Rican cuisine is a delightful mix of simplicity and bold flavour. Staples like gallo pinto (rice and beans with spices), casado (a hearty plate of rice, beans, plantains, salad, and a protein), and fresh ceviche (delicious fish marinated in lime juice) are must-tries. Don’t miss out on tropical fruits you’ve probably never tasted before - guanábana, cas, nance and more. If you're a coffee lover, you’re in for a treat: Costa Rica produces some of the world’s finest Arabica coffee , often grown on small, sustainable farms in the highlands. Ready to explore Costa Rica with Guys.travel ? Whether you’re looking to spot toucans i n the jungle , hike across v olcanic landscapes , sip a cocktail on a secluded beach , or meet fellow gay travellers in an open-minded and welcoming setting - Costa Rica offers it all .

With its mild climate all year round, nature lovers from all over the world are drawn to Madeira, the majestic jewel in the Atlantic. Spectacular cliffs, lush nature, towering mountains, infinite hiking trails and, last but not least, legendary Portuguese hospitality await you. Having spent countless gay holidays on the island, we’ve put together our personal Top 10 for you - authentic island highlights that you won’t want to miss out on during a gay holiday on Madeira .   TOP 1: A hiking tour along the levadas – the island’s irrigation channels Madeira is criss-crossed by a network of small water channels , which carry precious water from the high plateau down into the valley, winding its way through a system of tunnels. On your gay island holiday, you can follow the levadas for hours on end and simply savour the spectacular views . The Levada das 25 fontes , which leads from Rabaçal through an 800-metre-long tunnel, is especially popular. Guys.travel’s gay tour of Madeira takes you on a fantastic hike along the levadas! Why not check it out? TOP 2: The Madeira plateau at 1,300 metres above sea level – truly spectacular If you only drive along the coast below, you can’t even begin to imagine what natural beauty awaits you up here. The Madeira plateau is an absolute must. Explore one of the numerous hiking trails while you’re here on a gay holiday , but make sure to come prepared – it can get pretty chilly up here! TOP 3: The cloud forests - bizarre tree giants at the highest altitudes At the Posto Florestal Fanal , you’ll be transported to another world - giant laurel trees shrouded in mist and clouds , overgrown with moss and lichen, with grazing cows in between... Add it to you list of places to visit on your gay holiday on Madeira - it’s a place you’ll never forget! TOP 4: São Lourenço - the breathtaking eastern tip of Madeira The volcanic origins of Madeira are more than apparent here. Along narrow trails through a striking rocky landscape , you’ll make your way to the easternmost point of the island - a definite highlight on any gay tour of Madeira ! TOP 5: Farol da Ponta do Pargo – the lighthouse at the westernmost point of the island A picturesque lighthouse awaits you at the western tip of Madeira - its monumental location and the first-class view of the island’s staggering cliffs form here make a visit during your gay holiday on Madeira particularly worthwhile. It’s the ideal place to simply relax and unwind ! TOP 6: Cascata da Garganta Funda - a scenic gorge with a waterfall From a viewpoint (miradouro) not far away on the west coast, you have a fantastic view of this vibrant green gorge with a 130-metre-high waterfall, which depending on the season sometimes carries more and sometimes less water - but is always worth seeing on a gay tour of Madeira . TOP 7: Porto Moniz - the journey is the reward This small coastal town in the northwest of the island is known for its natural pools formed by volcanic rock where you can take a dip. However, the winding route to this place, which leads you through a green paradise of lush primeval forests , is definitely the most memorable part of this gay holiday excursion . Simply awesome! TOP 8: The small coastal town of Calheta – home to one of Madeira’s few beaches Madeira is not exactly known for its beaches – most of the coastline is steep and rocky. But there are two small bays in Calheta where you can swim and relax by the water . There are also several little restaurants where you can stop to have a bite to eat. TOP 9: Funchal – the beautiful island capital With a population of 130,000 , Funchal is not only the capital but also the largest city on Madeira . On your gay island holiday , make sure to take a leisurely stroll through the old town , walk through the historic market and check out the black scabbardfish (found 1,000 metres deep in the ocean!), enjoy the breeze on the harbour , and take the cable car up to the small church of Nossa Senhora do Monte . Top 10: The Botanical Garden - high above the rooftops of Funchal Here you’ll find an abundance of strelitzias , otherwise known as known as bird of paradise flowers , and a host of other flowering plants that are so typical of the island. Even though the garden could be better cared for, the view over the city and the ocean of flowers and plants from up here is well worth a visit on a gay holiday on Madeira . And if you don’t feel like exploring the island alone, why not join Guys.travel’s gay tour of Madeira ? What are you waiting for? Check it out !
