🙋♂️ Welcome to Gay Puerto Vallarta FAQs
📍 Where is the main gay area in Puerto Vallarta?
The heart of the scene is the Zona Romántica (specifically the streets Olas Altas, Amapas, Lazaro Cardenas, and Basilio Badillo). Virtually all of PV’s gay bars, restaurants, gay hotels, and world-famous beach hotspots are clustered right here within safe walking distance.
🚕 What is the best way to get around the city?
Walking is your best bet inside the Romantic Zone. For longer trips (like traveling from the airport or heading to south-zone villas), Uber and local yellow city cabs are incredibly safe, efficient, and inexpensive.
💵 Should I pay with Dollars or Mexican Pesos?
While major hotels and restaurants accept credit cards, local taco stands and some bars and restaurants accept cash. Always pay in Mexican Pesos (MXN) to avoid bad exchange rates on the street.
