famous traffic light couples in the city center are already an indication that Vienna is a hot spot for a wide variety of identities, lifestyles and sexual orientations. Not too wild, but colorful enough. Clubs for homosexuals and the lesbian bar culture with women-only caf\u00e9s invite you to party and flirt.<\/p>\n<p>These spaces are not only open to lesbians and gays, but also bisexual, trans, intersexual and queer as well as heterosexual and other open-minded people. An evening with dazzling drag queens or entertaining city tours on Vienna&#8217;s gay history are also ideal for those who are enthusiastic about the scene. It was not for nothing that the federal capital was named \u201c<strong>Destination of the Year 2018<\/strong>\u201d at the <strong>Australian LGBTQI Awards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>No matter where or with whom you feel at home: In Vienna there is enough space to openly celebrate your sexual orientation and preferences.

If something is especially important to you, you can get information and help from experts at a counseling center.
