Sydney is one of the world’s favorite cities. Set on a stunning harbor the shopping and dining variety are superb and you are within easy access of the great outdoors. Sydney was voted by the readers of Conde Naste in 2008. Sydney is a gay friendly city and its wide range of attractions encourages gay travel to this part of Australia.

The Gay and Lesbian community is very active in the city. But the most famous event is the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. This is party central and the event has general popular appeal. Many non homosexual Sydneysiders stand along the parade route to enjoy the fun atmosphere.

Beaches are everywhere around Sydney. A short ride across the harbor is the Manly area with it’s surf beach and laid back way of Life. There are a wide choice of beaches that are good for swimming and surfing or just lying back and improving your tan. If you want to find naturalist beaches there are four in the area just to the North of Sydney.

The food side of life is well catered for and is complemented by a great cafe culture. The balmy to hot temperatures make outdoor dining possible and there is nothing better than sipping a glass of wine watching the water or people going by.

The main gay district of Sydney is centered around Oxford Street; affectionately know as the pink stip. Here there are many gay friendly bars and clubs and a wide range of shopping opportunities from start up designers to the much more high end range of shopping options.

Gay travel to Sydney Australia is a rewarding experience. The seasons are the opposite of those in the Northern hemisphere so if you are in need of some sun and fun, in a gay friendly environment, Sydney is a prime destination.

Or you might consider a very different destination in the Southern hemisphere: Gay travel to Brazil is gaining popularity, as well.
