A walk down Church Street in Toronto’s Gay Village makes it clear that the city welcomes LGBTQIA travelers. But it’s not the only destination waving the rainbow flag in the Great White North. Canada as a nation is committed to inclusivity, and LGBTQIA travelers looking to escape up north can feel secure at almost any tourist hot spot. These 10 places (that are not Toronto) belong on every LGBTQ itinerary.

Walking tours offer a fantastic welcome to a new destination and a chance to see it from a local’s perspective, but standard tours often overlook the lives of queer travelers.
Having a local LGBTQIA guide changes that, while making it easier to talk about the topics that are important and of interest to us while meeting fellow queer travelers ...

Drag performances are to the LGBTQIA community what burger joints are to foodies—diverse, debated, but universally loved. Whatever your favorites are, no one regrets a visit to Shake Shack or In-N-Out, right? Similarly, you’re destined to appreciate a stage show starring beloved queens and attended by the masses or a small stage show where up-and-comers lip-sync for every last dollar.

It’s all around us and we take it for granted – but not the Dutch. Light. While most of us simply switch it on or off to read a book or go to bed, the Dutch are working tirelessly to exploit photons, the particles of light that hold the key to the future of technology. This is especially the case with integrated photonics, where light is manipulated at the nano-scale.

Canvas bags filled with organic muesli procured from Naturalia, impeccably dressed children swaddled in high-end strollers, clusters of bicycles, and a collective preoccupation with brunch: these are some of the distinguishing characteristics of the social group known as bobos. More mature than hipsters, the bobos -- a portmanteau of bohemien and bourgeois -- are a gentrifying force that Parisians have come to associate with the now-popular Canal Saint-Martin district.

The hustle and bustle of men trading securities in an open-air market was, in 1602, a novel endeavor when the Netherlands opened the world’s first modern stock exchange in Amsterdam. Over 400 years later, the nation continues to innovate the financial sector, intersecting with technology at the burgeoning field of fintech.
