Remember the past, create the future
Amsterdam is one of these cities that everybody dreams about. You have to go there at least once in your life, just because it is that amazing!
Amsterdam Pride is a little different than the other LGBT Pride Parade events we already listed. That’s because Amsterdam features a Canal Pride on the hundreds of canals that run through the city center.
Canal Pride in Amsterdam is happening on the 3rd of August, but there’s more to see and do in Amsterdam during Pride Week!
Visit the Pride Park or walk during the Pride Walk. Or maybe you can attend one of the many street parties that are scheduled between the 27th of July and the closing party on the 4th of August.
LGBT-friendly hotel in Amsterdam
All hotels and guesthouses in Amsterdam are LGBT-friendly! So you can go wild when booking your stay! We do have a few recommendations though!
LGBT-friendly places for everyone include Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam, Mauro Mansion, NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace, and NH Collection Amsterdam Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky.
If you want to stretch your budget a little further, check out the LGBT-friendly Hotel Freeland or the Ibis Centre Hotel.

The Arctic Pride in Tromsø is quite special! With a location at 69 degrees North, it’s the northernmost Pride in the world. Also, the Pride Parade and festivities are held in November, which makes it the last Pride of the year. In November, you should be able to see the Northern light in Tromsø!
Tromsø Pride is one of the smaller Pride events, but that makes it only more special. In 2018, 6000 people walked in the Arctic Pride. This year, more participants are expected. I must admit: we so want to go to Tromsø!!

Pride Barcelona: Love Always Wins!
The fabulous Barcelone Pride has expanded from a 2)day event to a week-long celebration of love!
In 2020, the Pride Festival in Barcelona starts on June 20 and it lasts until June 27. There will be a lot of cultural, social, and fun activities for the LGBTQ+ community and their friends.
I’m pretty sure this is one of these Pride Parades in Europe you just have to go to! Barcelona is a close competitor with Madrid for being the most popular LGBTQ event in Spain and they’re a candidate to become the host city for Europe Pride 2022.
The Barcelona Pride organization expects more than 500 thousand visitors over the course of the Pride week.
But of course, the real highlight of Pride week is…. the Pride Parade through the iconic streets of Barcelona.
Barcelona Pride March is planned for June 27 in 2020. So save the date!
Expect a lot of fun, party, diversity, and love!
LGBT-friendly hotel in Barcelona
The most famous LGBT hotel in Barcelone is the Axel Hotel and the Two by Axel, both of which are also hetero-friendly. Since the 2 hotels mentioned above might be more gay-oriented, we want to give an extra recommendation for the ladies: NH Collection Barcelona.
Also in Barcelona, the Gallery Hotel is cute, cozy, and popular!
For budget travelers, the Rodamón Barcelona Hostel offers affordable dorm beds and private rooms.

Oslo Pride: Everything is Love
Oslo Pride is still the largest transgender, lesbian, and gay pride in Norway. And the Pride is not exclusively for L, G, and T visitors, of course. Everyone in the LGBTQ+++ community and beyond are welcome to join for this massive celebration of diversity.
Oslo is celebrating love during a 10-day Pride festival, starting on the 19th of June until the 28th of June.
The actual Oslo Pride March is happening on Saturday, June 27 and it is the big highlight of the Pride festival.
Oslo expects the 2020 Pride event to be splendid, just like it is each year. Oslo has a sublime location by the water and they beautifully integrate that location into the Pride event.
Pride House is the location of the Pride Art exhibit and there will be possibilities to engage in the LGBT scene or gain information. The Pride House opens on June 20 until June 26.
LGBT-friendly hotel in Oslo
Oslo and the rest of Scandinavia are known to have an open and tolerant attitude towards diversity and LGBT+. So any hotel will accept you as their guest with much love and devotion. We still have some recommendations for you:
Spend the night in Oslo, close to the action in the Park Inn by Radisson, the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel or the Citybox Oslo if you want to spare you budget for other activities.
Rather save your budget for the Pride party? The Saga Poshtel Oslo Central Hostel is also a great budget-friendly option!

Why is the 2019 LGBT Pride so important?
Almost every LGBT Pride Parade organizer talks about it in some way or another. The Stonewall Riots of 1969.
This year, 50 years ago, the Stonewall uprising took place and it was the first day of a new era. Most city Pride Parades have activities or ceremonies in order to remember what happened generations before us and how they started clearing the way for future generations… us!
That’s why this is important.
What is the Stonewall Uprising?
The Stonewall Uprising consisted of a series of spontaneous acts of rebellion, some of which were quite violent.
The LGBT community in New York decided they had enough of repression and anti-gay attitude of the government. After the riots that happened in the early morning of a summer day in 1969, LGBT people started to become a cohesive community, which made them stronger.
Today, the Stonewall rebellion is seen as the most important moment of the history of LGBT liberation. These riots took place near the Stonewall Inn in Christopher Street, New York.
LGBT Pride Calendar
So these a re the LGBT Pride Events that already have their dates published. Sadly enough, we weren’t able to get the dates for all Pride Parade events just yet. But obviously, we will keep updating this awesome Pride Calendar for Europe 2019!
We already visited quite a few Pride Festivals in Europe, but can you ever get enough of these? We visited the Belgian Pride multiple times… And in 2017, Madrid Pride was also the host of the WorldPride, which was an absolute success. This year, New York hosts the WorldPride. But hey, you can still easily attend major Pride Festivals in Europe!
Do you have plans to attend any of these Pride Festivals in 2019? Or have you already been to an awesome LGBT Pride Parade in the past? Don’t hesitate to let us know how much you love to celebrate Pride!
This might be interesting too!
Pin it!
So much fun to be had in one summer! If I was a full time traveler, I might have my summer plan now.
Full-time travel is the way to go! Just kidding 🙂 We wish we could attend many more Pride events than we do, but once a year is a bare minimum! Which ones are you considering?
What about Lisbon Pride on the 22nd of June and the LGBTIQ + March on the 29th of June? Why was thee no mention of any of those two events?
It’s great that you mention them now! We have not added these Pride events in Portugal, because the event dates were not published when this article was published. Some LGBT pride marches don’t offer a clear website or they don’t show updated dates.
I had a chat with someone at ILGA Portugal. They could not help me with the correct info either.
We selected these Pride events based on their online presence and available information. So there is no further reason why these events may not have been mentioned.
