GROUP TRIP to MALAYSIA
Are you ready to travel to Malaysia with World Mappers?
An exciting journey through Malaysia's breathtaking landscapes and fascinating cultures, a journey that blends tradition and modernity in a unique experience.
In the heart of Taman Negara, the world's oldest rainforest, we'll explore wild and unspoiled nature, walking on its evocative suspension bridges and observing tropical biodiversity. While Hungary’s national politics can feel conservative, Budapest itself is progressive, international, and welcoming to queer visitors. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a week, you’ll find plenty of reasons to fall in love with Hungary’s capital.
🌟 Pro tip – Ready to plan your trip?
You’ll also find one-off drag shows, club nights, and community events throughout the year, with schedules often posted last-minute on social and venue pages. Many people only think of Christ the Redeemer when they hear the name Rio, but there's so much more: the colors, the people, the music, the beaches, the breathtaking views...
Pride in July is a highlight, but summer crowds are intense.
How do I get around the city?
Trams, buses, and metro are easy and affordable. You get warm days, fewer tour groups than peak summer, and you can still catch Pride-adjacent parties if you visit around late June.
Did we get something wrong? For men-focused spots, CoXx Men’s Bar is a casual hangout, and Magnum Sauna is the main sauna for downtime and socializing. The scene stays fairly low-key and local, so it helps to plan your nights and check door policies and cash vs card before you go. We recommend SafetyWing to cover everything from lost luggage to unexpected doctor visits.

🌟 Pro tip – Always carry travel insurance.
Has a business we highlighted closed or perhaps something new and fabulous opened? Use the camera feature to scan text instantly—no typing needed. We felt comfortable walking hand-in-hand day and night. Holiday markets, thermal baths, and nightlife still thrive even in winter.
The key date on the calendar is Budapest Pride, usually in late June or early July, with a march plus a week or more of talks, film, and parties.
