Gay & Lesbian Travel: Cambridge, MA

Cambridge cultivates a great sense of diversity and has much to offer lesbian and gay visitors. The Cambridge Office of Tourism puts it wonderfully well with its slogan: "A little funkier. A little spunkier. Definitely spicier."

Of course, Cambridge lies just across the Charles River from less funky, spunky, and spicy Boston, so it's easy to get back and forth between the two cities, by car or taxi, bus or metro, or even on foot. Cambridge has no shortage of first-rate, gay-friendly accommodations, so you can always overnight here, but its proximity to Boston makes it great as a day trip from the latter, too.
