  1. Park

    Villa Borghese — Galoppatoio

    No reviews yet

    Rome, RM, Lazio, Italy

    Rome's best-known outdoor cruising area runs along the Galoppatoio, the old horse-riding track inside the vast Villa Borghese park. The wooded paths draw a steady crowd in the evenings and after dark, especially in the warmer months. Easy to reach on foot from Spagna or Flaminio metro. Public sexual activity is illegal in Italy, so stay discreet and respectful of other park users.

    Rome, RM, Lazio, Italy

    Rome's official gay and naturist beach, tucked inside the protected Capocotta dunes about 30 km south of the city near Ostia. Locals call it "Il Buco", and large rainbow flags mark the section among the dunes. It is remote and relaxed, busiest from May to September. Reach it via the Roma–Lido train to Piramide, then a local bus along the Litoranea.

    Castel Fusano Pinewood

    Rome, RM, Lazio, Italy

    The sprawling coastal pine forest behind Castel Fusano beach near Ostia is a long-standing outdoor cruising area, active both day and night. Shaded trails offer plenty of cover away from the main paths. Pair it with a beach day in summer; drive or take the Roma–Lido line to Castel Fusano.
