About Milan and its gay life

As you can see on our Gay Map Milan, there are no particular gay areas in Milan. You might have read about a so-called Gay Street, Via Sammartini, but that's a rather promotional term. There are some gay venues in that street (bars with strip shows and karaoke, sexshops and a gay sauna), all very close to each other, but the street can not be considered the gay center of Milan.

As elsewhere in Italy, a membership card is required for all gay cruise bars and saunas in Milan, usually the Arcigay UNO CLUB card. In Milan, the Arcigay card is also required for some of the gay parties. If you don't have an Arcigay card yet, you can usually acquire it at the entrance of the venues that require the card.
(For foreigners 8 € for 3 months. When you acquire the card you need to show your photo ID card; after that you only need the membership card.)
