What are the kids up to these days?

Airbnb, the online marketplace for short-term and long-term stays, wants to know.

The industry ally recently analyzed Pride travel destinations for Millennial and Gen Z travelers. Their efforts revealed a diversity of Pride destinations and experiences that in many ways reflected the characteristics of each generation.

Airbnb found Millennials (born 1980 to 1995) tended to be more traditional in the Pride travel destinations. Not too surprisingly, Gen Z-ers (born from 1996 to the early 2000s) sought out newer Pride celebrations and experiences. Gen Z-ers also saw a staggering 300 percent increase in Airbnb bookings over five years (Q1 2019 to Q1 2023).

Keep scrolling to see the top 10 international destinations where Airbnb Millennial travelers celebrated Pride, listed in no particular order. We included information on Pride celebrations – including dates and links – for each destination.
