Is Warsaw, Poland a Gay-Friendly Travel Destination?
Last Updated on October 7,
Unfortunately, Poland isn&#;t known for being the friendliest country towards the gay community. The general consensus is that in massive cities like Warsaw, it is protected to be lgbtq+ as long as you are somewhat discreet about it. Homosexuality is legal but not openly tolerated. Dressing or acting overly dramatic could potentially position you in harm&#;s way. To dodge dangerous situations, it is best for LGBT travelers to be mindful of their surroundings when engaging in any PDAs- even holding hands.
When Jorge, my boyfriend, flew over to Poland to visit me while I was living in Warsaw for a month, the discreet LGBT customs was probably one of the hardest parts for us to adjust to. Even though we were in Poland, a country modern to both of us, we felt like we had to explore it appearing as though we were two friends traveling together. Somehow, that unwavering alertness can be very straining on your mental health.
Not knowing the local language adds another challenge to maintaining your safety when traveling
A phoenix risen from the ashes, Warsaw has a lure that’s difficult to define. The Polish capital suffered terrible levels of destruction during World War Two, followed by almost 50 years of Soviet occupation.

The city—as with the rest of Roman Catholic Poland—remains socially conservative, with civil unions and gay marriage yet to make it onto the statute book. That said, the first Europe-wide gay pride parade held in a former Eastern Bloc country has been running annually in Warsaw since , and attracted 45, revellers in That, and an increasing number of gay-friendly venues, only add to Warsaw’s growing allure.
