Maybe you already have a trip planned to one of these locales, in which case you may want to consider repacking. Either way, when you go, make sure you take one of the clothing-optional flights in the related article below. Anyhow, Concierge has compiled this useful list of the best places to be in the buff with the locals: SPENCER TUNICK – Thousands of nude people gathered together for an artistic photo session. Also check out the article below from Trend Hunter. Image 1 & 2 SPAWORLD, JAPAN – Natural hot springs separated into theme spas by countries of the world. However, men and woman must remain on separate floors. Image 3 TURKISH BATHS, BUDAPEST – 2 options Rudas and Király baths. Apparently as long as you’re not looking for burly men, the Király baths are the place to go. Image 4 LOVEPARADE, GERMANY – According to concierge, “the Loveparade makes Mardi Gras look like the Republican National Convention.” I guess it’s a fun dance and music festival. Image 5 BAY TO BREAKERS, SAN FRANCISCO – An actual 12km race and part of the gay pride festivities. Officially not a clothing free event, but... BURNING MAN, NEVADA – We know about this one from Trend Hunter too. BLUE LAGOON, ICELAND – A [luxury spa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zion-canyon-hot-springs) with all the trimmings, including geothermal pools, blond Nordic people and massages. Image 7 HADAKA MATSURI, JAPAN – An annual winter festival of loinclothed men running in a shrine. Hmmm? Image 8 NO PANTS DAY, NEW YORK CITY – Started by an improv group and held on the first Friday on May. Mark your calendars! Image 9 WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE – The name pretty much says it all. This awareness ride moves from country to country and various social and environmental issues are emphasized each year. BLACKS BEACH, SAN DIEGO – Located in La Jolla California, “volleyball, barbecues, lab puppies frolicking in the surf, and a slew of bathing suit–less sunbathers,” says Concierge.
