Greetings LGBT Travelers!
As the song goes – "I never knew the charm of spring. . . ’til April in Paris". And what better way to celebrate spring than to plan your next European Adventure. Paris is certainly the city of love, but we’re not limiting ourselves to this one destination, when so many places are welcoming our community. So get your calendars as we set our sights on springtime -because life is a vacation! -Zachary Mikles, Managing Editor

April in Paris – Exploring European Adventures
|
Paris
 Paris, city of lights, love and romance, has long been a springtime destination. Le Marais in the 3rd Arrondissement is the popular gay area of Paris with a great mix of shopping, galleries and restaurants. You’ll find the Picasso Museum on the up and coming Rue Charlot, and the fabulous Hotel du Petit Moulin which was designed by famed designer Christian Lacroix and is located on the Rue de Poitou. Close by you can find Le Pamphlet, one of the most famous restaurants in the world with reasonably priced prix-fixe menus.
 Another wonderful place to stay is located on the left bank, in the heart of Paris. Nestled between St. Germain des Pres and the Latin Quarter, The Hotel Odeon is within walking distance of the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Musee D’Orsay. Also in the 5th Arrondissement is the stunning Musee Cluny where the famed Lady and the Unicorn Tapestry cycle resides. The museum is constructed on the remains of the Greco-Roman baths which date back to the 3rd century.

Italy
 But perhaps you’re in the mood for Italian masterpieces – and we have just the tour for you! The All-Gay Wonderful Italy Tour takes you to three of the most desirable cities in Italy – Rome (including Vatican City), Florence and Venice.
You’ll spend an entire week exploring the ancient wonders of the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel; Florence and Tuscany, and the romantic city on the water, Venice. (This tour has limited availability, so book today!)

Croatia
 Desire the culture of Europe and the relaxation of the Mediterranean? Then visit the island of Hvar – one of the most popular destinations on the Adriatic and one of the hot new spots for LGBT travelers.
Relaxation is the order of the day, with swimming, enjoying the beautiful views and deciding on which café to visit in the evening will be your most taxing travails.

Eastern Europe
 Join us on an exciting and fun All-Gay Eastern Europe Tour through Prague, Dresden and Berlin. We'll discover these cities with all the must-see sites.
But we'll go even further: we'll embark on a gay treasure hunt through Prague and a rip-roaring tour by Trabi through the streets of Berlin, which will give you a taste of the city before 1989. We end our exciting week celebrating the Christopher Street Parade in Berlin.

Astrolabe - definition from Wikipedia
The astrolabe is a historical astronomical instrument used by classical astronomers, navigators, and astrologers. Its many uses included locating and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars; determining local time given local longitude and vice-versa; surveying; and triangulation. In the Islamic world, they are and were used primarily for astronomical studies, though astrology was often involved there as well. Astrologers of the European nations used astrolabes to construct horoscopes.
