The three big B for beer, BMW, and Bayern Munich, stand for three of the biggest export hits of the Bavarian capital. Of course, we mustn’t forget the annual Oktoberfest. But in addition to some mugs of the best beer in the world, which we as beer lovers had to try during our 4-day keep in Munich, there had entirely different things planned out for our first Munich Gay Town Trip. Because even if Munich is the capital of the more conservative German state of Bavaria, the city on the Isar is one of the most LGBTQ+ and gay-friendly cities in Germany. Numerous popular locations, annual events, and even monuments say the story of a deeply rooted, active queer community in Munich that has managed to integrate traditional and modern LGBTQ+ institutions into today’s cityscape.

Adventurous and curious as we are, we started our journey with a guided city tour exploring the heart of the gorgeous city center of Munich while learning more about the interesting queer stories of the Bavarian capi
Germany is a very progressive nation in terms of LGBTQ+ rights with the first gay rights protest to decriminalise homosexuality taking place here in and the term homosexual first introduced by German writer Karl Maria Kertbeny in Today, the country is also home to Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ population.
As you may predict then, Germany offers a very safe and welcoming environment for gay travellers. This is particularly true in the larger towns and cities, many of which are home to a lively LGBTQ+ community, plenty of gay-friendly amenities and a number of popular annual Pride events which welcome locals and visitors alike.

About Munich and its gay life
Munich is the capital of the Free State of Bavaria and after Berlin and Hamburg the third largest city in Germany. Located in the foothills of the Alps, it offers many opportunities for recreation and sporting activities in a breathtaking scenery. Munich is a very wealthy noun and a popular location for media and IT companies.
The special flair and Bavarian way of life have always attracted great minds, such as the composers Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner, the writers Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Frank Wedekind, Lion Feuchtwanger and Bertolt Brecht, and the group of artists called ›Der Blaue Reiter‹ who made Munich a ce
Gay Munich
The capital of Bavaria, Munich is framed by snow-capped peaks of the Alps. It’s known for its many museums, distinctive architecture, and of course, its endless varieties of beer. Germans say Munich has the country's best quality of life, making it the municipality where they'd live if they could. Most gay people here would agree.
