Lisbon Bear Pride is an international encounter for bears and friends in the spectacular city of Lisbon.
If you have been to Portugal, you’ll know by now that most Portuguese men tend to be Latino-looking, dark and hairy. Thus, it is not surprising that it’s capital, Lisbon, has a large bear (and their fans) community. Lisbon is also becoming increasingly known as a LGBT travel destination for Europeans and others. It offers plenty of bars, clubs and things to do, together with fantastic weather, tons of history and fantastic value-for-money.
- Visiting for Lisbon Bear Pride? Stay in the Principe Real district, home to the best gay bars in the city. Stay at the charming Alegria Boutique Hotel, with spacious rooms and a great location.
