What You Will Do
Marriage equality, Rainbow crosswalks, queer traffic light couples and ranking number four on the International Gay Travel Index for gay friendly destinations!
Austria and especially its capital, Vienna, have made massive strides these last few years regarding the equality and visibility of the LGBTIQ+ community. None of that would have been possible without the countless brave activists and pioneers, that worked towards this goal.
On this queer tour we talk about Vienna as it is now and what it took to get here, while also featuring famous and not so famous figures from Vienna's queer history.
So pack your rainbow flags and your best feather boa and discover Vienna with us at its most colorful!
