The Auckland Pride Parade Auckland has been included in Lonely Planet’s new free Guide to Pride handbook. The travel bible profiles "20 of the biggest, most welcoming and most jump-on-a-plane-worthy Pride events around the world." The Auckland Pride Festival and Big Gay Out are among the highlight events it lists for Auckland. The Guide to Pride covers Amsterdam, Atlanta, Auckland, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Dublin, London, Madrid, Melbourne, New York City, Paris, Puerto Vallarta, Rekjavík, San Francisco, São Paulo, Sydney, Taipei, Toronto and Vancouver. “Lonely Planet’s Guide to Pride is a resource - and hopefully a source of inspiration - for LGBT travellers, who have long been part of the Lonely Planet community,” Lonely Planet’s Chris Zeiher says. “Even if you miss Pride, the destinations and travel tips in this book will serve you year-round.” Last year Lonely Planet rated New Zealand the second most gay-friendly place in the world, behind Copenhagen.
