About Patroc
Patroc provides travel information for gay men who like to explore other countries, curious about their people, culture and life.
Our site features gay guides and maps for more than 25 destinations in Europe, from gay hot-spots like Berlin and Barcelona to less known destinations like Bologna and Bilbao.
We are committed to be as accurate and up-to-date as possible, but not as complete as possible. This site is for travellers with limited time, thus, we leave off some locations that aren't very appealing to travellers.
What readers say about Patroc
›First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your fantastic
no-nonsense site that I use all the time because I do travel a lot. I sincerely
hope that you will go on updating the site and keeping on the great job!‹

›Came across patroc.com when checking out which gay spots to hit during my
recent travels to Europe. I must say that I like your website! There are so many
gay guides online (hipper-looking ones at that), but they are either rather
gimmicky with lots of frills, take a long time to load or are simple outdated.
Yours is a comprehensive list of gay places to hit while travelling, yet simple
and user friendly. What also strikes me is the list of cities available - very
different mix of cities. I like it that I can find cities like Dresden and
Granada along side the mainstreams like Berlin and Amsterdam.
Now, if only you could include a few other cities that would make your
website even better. Hope to see more cities soon!‹

Print-outs and Maps
All our pages from 'Hotels' to 'All' are optimized for print-outs: The menu at the left and some other elements are excluded from printing which allows the relevant content to fit on fewer pages.
If you want to print one of our Gay City Maps including the legend in the sidebar the paper formats A4 or Letter, margins of about 10 mm and the standard page scaling of 100% will work best in most cases.
