Iceland is one of the best destinations for gays and lesbians due to its gay friendship. There are several GLBT nightlife spots in Iceland, most of them located in Iceland's capital Reykjavik.
The gay crowd in Iceland has a very strong connection to Laugavegur 22. In the years around 1980, there was a gay bar there and many stories have been told about that time, but the people who walk out the doors of Laugavegur 22 no longer have to fear. be greeted with violence.
Laugavegur 22 is once again Reykjavík's gay palace. Today, the address is home to two popular gay hangouts:
- Above: Barbara gay nightclub
- Bottom: Trúnó Gay Café & Bar
Icelandic gay and lesbian organization Samtökin '78 also offers gay open houses every Monday and Thursday evening for anyone who is GLBT or GLBT friendly. You will find the center of this group on the 4th floor at Laugavegur 3 in downtown Reykjavik.
Some other special events are organized by Iceland's LGBT tour operator Pink Iceland. Pink Iceland is the first and only tour operator in Iceland dedicated to LGBT clientele, offering a variety of local events and tours with the help of gay partners.
