Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

There's more to Queer Europe than gay Paree(Paris). From London and Lisbon to Athens, Amsterdam and Prague, Europe has long been a hot travel destination for gays and lesbians. Until recently, though, there was no good guide that catered to gay and lesbian tastes and needs. With Frommer's Gay & Lesbian Europe, however, that's all changed. What do gays and lesbians want in a guidebook? Like anyone else, they want the lowdown on transportation and lodging, sightseeing and shopping, food and nightlife. But there are also such issues as comfort levels and cultural expectations, finding gay-owned or gay-friendly establishments, meeting fellow gay travellers and fraternising with the locals-- topics left out of your typical straight travel guide.

If, for example, you're heading to Paris, you might want to know about the rustic gay restaurant that looks like a French farmhouse (complete with dog napping in the corner), and hearty recipes passed down from the chef's grandfather--as well as which hotels are gay-friendly, from sumptuous to quaint. There are sight-seeing standards such as the Louvre, Notre Dame, and Arc de Triomphe, plus extras like the Erotic Museum, Proust's home town of Illiers-Combray, and Le Marais--the heart of gay Paris. Read further and you'll find gyms that cater to gay crowds, gay and lesbian bookstores, plus stores that specialise in chocolates, club wear, and gourmet foods. There's a full section on bars--gay, lesbian and mainstream--as well as cabarets, supper clubs, dance clubs, sex clubs, gay saunas and leather shops.

There's a lot of tongue-in-cheek cleverness here, with chapter headings like "London: The Queen's at Home," "The Czech Republic: Coming Out of the Past," and "Greece: Where It All Began." There's also sensitive and useful information about what's accepted where, from hotel reservations to public displays of same-sex affection. For anyone who's here and queer, but wants to be queer and there, this is the guide to take. --Stephanie Gold --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Review

"The sexiness of Amsterdam, the beauty of Rome, the nightlife of Paris are all yours along with everything you need to know about gay and lesbian travel abroad. This is the book you don't want to leave home without." — Judy Wieder, Editor in Chief, "The Advocate"

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor coverage of Europe, 29 April 2002
By A Customer
This book is not a guide to "Europe", but rather a guide to some selected cities of Europe. It only covers one german city and yet two Italian cities (hardly a gay destination to dream about). Some of the coverage is good if it were in a regular frommers guide, but this is supposed to be a "GAY" guide and frankly it's just not up to the task. I'll be returning to the trusted and faithful Spartacus guide in the future.
