Gay Hanoi

While Vietnam's tape on LGBTQ rights has room for progress, the capital city of Hanoi hosts a tiny but lively male lover scene perfect for queer travelers. Nestled in Hanoi's historic Old Quarter, explorers will discover a string of hip gay cafes, bars, and clubs catering primarily to LGBTQ patrons. Tucked amongst ancient temples and markets, these venues carve out lively hubs where Vietnam's LGBTQ community openly mingles.

Donning dazzling costumes and waving rainbow flags, Pride celebrations take over Hanoi's streets every August, spreading messages of love and tolerance. And though queer PDA remains relatively taboo across conservative Vietnam, many of Hanoi's nightlife establishments magically transform into gay sanctuaries once the sun sets.

From cabaret theater performances to pulsating gyrate clubs, LGBTQ visitors from across the globe join Hanoi's local queer group to freely communicate themselves amid vibrant lights and basslines.
