See Northern Lights Dance Across the Sky or Dance Your Tail Off at Rio Carnival
February still offers many experiences for both those hanging onto winter and those trying to escape it. Whether you want to join in the festivities of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro or want to catch a glimpse of the northern lights in Norway, February is great for gay travel.
Rio de Janeiro is a cozy 87 degrees (F) in February and with Carnival under way you’re in for a sizzling good time, both in the city and at the beach. Rio’s welcoming atmosphere makes it an LGBTQ+ beach trip favorite.
But don’t forget to consider something a little snowier too. Many travelers actually prefer a glass of wine by a crackling fire with northern lights dancing above them in somewhere like Hamnøy, Norway.
Whatever floats your boat! No really, February has some fabulous cruise options too. So, where to next?
