Naples is Italy's most closeted city, but gay travelers will still find a few places to hang out at. Start in Piazza Bellini, known as the meeting point of the gay community before a night out on the town. Since gay hotspots are always changing, check with a local where everyone is going. You'll find that there are a couple of gay venues, but that the others are simply gay-friendly. Try these places:


Caffè Intra Moenia
Not gay but attracting a number of gay locals, this is a good place to hang out and have a drink. It's located in Piazza Bellini which is used as a gay meeting point.

Macho Lato
Formerly called Kapsula, this club is known for its bear parties, but welcomes the entire GLBT community for a night of drinking, dancing to house music, and whatever else.

Virgilio Club
One of Naples' hippest clubs is also a gay-friendly spot, with major DJs energizing its summer parties.

SUDTERRANEA - Vico della Quercia, 3
A significantly large gay crowd mixes with everyone else at this club located close to Piazza Dante. It has two dancefloors with the latest dance mixes and house music, but note that it closes from June to September.

Depot
This is probably the only place to meet local gay men. It's a cruising club which often hosts weekly events including fetish parties.


SAUNA
BLU ANGELS - Centro Direzionale Isola A/7
It's a little hard to find, but if you walk down Centro Direzionale from the train station, cross the street leading to the highway from opposite the Fiat showroom and go up the stairs around the corner on the right, you'll find this sauna offering three different floors to choose from.
