It’s also been more than a decade since Philly officially recognized its ‘Gayborhood’, the gay area in Philadelphia, by adding rainbow flag symbols to street signs.
It is no surprise that Philadelphia, which is famous as the birthplace of liberty, was the site of the first major LGBTQ rights demonstration in 1965. The city was also the first city in the United States to launch a major marketing campaign for welcoming LGBTQ tourism. From luxury hotels to wonderful B&Bs, gay travelers have tons of accommodation choices to choose from. What also makes the city so popular with gay travelers are the many gay hotels in Philadelphia, which welcome them with open arms. It is these very open-minded sensibilities that have made Philly a top LGBTQ destination in the US. Today, the city not only has a thriving queer life but has even made efforts to preserve and celebrate sites where LGBTQ history was made.
The city has not only been at the heart of the country’s revolutionary history but is also the birthplace of the LGBTQ civil rights movement in the US.
World Heritage City Philadelphia sees old-world charm blend beautifully with urban beauty.
