Dating in Europe for couples and unconventional relationship formats

Dating in Europe for couples and unconventional relationship formats

Gramsy is a dating platform for people in unconventional relationship formats: couples looking for a third, swingers, polyamorous families, the BDSM scene, LGBTQ+. These are overlapping communities that mainstream dating apps don't fit.

Sign up from any country in Europe โ€” your profile is visible across the region, and many couples and singles regularly travel between countries for meet-ups. For Spain, Germany and France we've also published detailed overviews of the local scene.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Spain

One of Europe's most open countries. Swing clubs in Barcelona and Madrid have been running for decades, polyamorous communities along the coast are well-established, and the LGBTQ+ neighbourhoods of major cities are well-known across Europe. Substantial English-speaking expat presence, especially on the Costa del Sol and in Barcelona.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany

Berlin is one of Europe's centres for the swing, fetish and queer scene, with venues operating since the 1990s. Munich, Hamburg and Cologne have their own active private-event cultures. An open attitude towards unconventional formats is built into everyday life in major German cities.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท France

Parisian "libertinage" is not marketing โ€” it has been part of the city's fabric since the 18th century. Members-only swing clubs in central Paris, an active poly and BDSM scene, the Cรดte d'Azur with its international events. Lyon and Marseille are independent centres with their own distinct scenes.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy

Italy combines a centuries-old private libertine tradition in its major cities with a progressive alternative scene around Bologna โ€” historically the country's most active hub for queer culture since Arcigay was founded there in 1985. Rome and Milan host long-running members-only swing clubs and private events; Naples and Florence have their own active local circles. The scene is mature but operates more privately than in northern Europe โ€” knowing the right entry points matters.
