Philly Named One of America’s Best Cities for Gay Travel

Travel + Leisure names Philadelphia one of the 20 best American cities for gay travel.

Travel + Leisure ranked Philadelphia the No. 17 best city for gay travel in its annual America’s Favorite Cities list. Here’s what they had to say:

Readers loved the City of Brotherly Love for its museums—such as the revamped Barnes Foundation—and its deep history, which includes the first documented gay-rights sit-in, in 1965. Today, Center City’s “Gayborhood” is marked with rainbow flags from Chestnut to Pine streets between 11th and Broad streets. On the corner of South 12th and Pine, you’ll find Giovanni’s Room, which boasts of being the oldest LGBT bookstore in the country.
