• Pátzcuaro - tranquil, artsy and gay friendly town located on the lake of the same name and is a popular tourist destination.

• Zamora - Zamora is the third largest city but does have some LGBT nightlife options.

• Lázaro Cárdenas - the port city on the Pacific coast has some options for the LGBT community.

• Sahuayo - a pretty lakeside town located on the shores of Lake Chapala.
