WorldPride 2025 + Travel Guide to The Netherlands

 

NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY Since its inception in 1988, National Coming Out Day (11 October) has celebrated those who have found the courage to share their truth and live authentically. While coming out can be a difficult process for many LGBTQ+ individuals, each voice serves as an agent of change in the face of homophobia and transphobia.

We look forward to a future where ‘coming out’ is no longer necessary. Until then, National Coming Out Day remains a vital platform for those who wish to share their stories. With WorldPride 2025 set to be a monumental celebration of LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion, Washington DC is gearing up for an epic party! Planning to be part of the festivities? This 3-day itinerary, curated with the help of our IGLTA Global Partner Destination DC, is your perfect pre-Pride guide to DC's electric LGBTQ+ scene and iconic landmarks. LGBTQ+ TRAVEL GUIDE TO NETHERLANDS Tulips, cheese, clogs, and, of course, bicycles—the Netherlands, commonly referred to as Holland, is undoubtedly one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly countries in the world. Queer travelers will enjoy the multi-cultural vibe and welcoming nature of the Dutch, especially in the capital Amsterdam, but also in cities like Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Eindhoven. With LGBTQ+ events, colorful festivals and traditional cultural highlights, the Netherlands offer year-round appeal. Must-see experiences include the iconic Canal (Gay) Pride in Amsterdam with its dozens of rainbow-decorated boats, the stunning tulip blooms, and King's Day (Dutch Koningsdag), where locals celebrate the king’s birthday all dressed in the Dutch national color, orange.  READ GUIDE → Tags: National Coming Out Day, LGBTQ+,Netherlands, Travel
