Travel gay munich


Gay Munich &#; the optimal gay hotels, bars, clubs &#; more

Beer may be what the world knows Munich for—largely thanks to the world-renowned festival Oktoberfest—but the German city also has a rich historical legacy left by the—rather camp-looking—Bavarian royalty who once called it home. Munich has stunning architecture and huge parks, a nightlife to rival cities twice its size, and it holds its own as a queer mecca, with an active and unabashedly visible—not to mention openly kinky—gay community.

Situated in the heart of the Bavaria region of Germany, Munich is part of Germany’s “gay five”—the others being Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Cologne. The gay scene is deeply integrated into the fabric of the city’s social and cultural life, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity that resonates throughout.

Munich is an expose book, where you’ll always find something stimulating to do just by strolling around its charming streets. From the bustling Marienplatz Square to the grandiose Munich Residenz palace to the lush Englischer Garten with its artificial surfing river, Munich is Germany

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 city where they'd dwell if they could. Most gay people here would agree. They greet newcomers with a smile and a hearty Grüss Gott.

The Isar River is among Munich's greatest charms. Allowed to run naturally, its tributaries create minuscule islands edged with sand or pebble beaches. All kinds of people approach out to the moisture on warm summer days: families with children, tattooed teens, and gay couples. Nude sunbathers turn golden brown, kids and dogs frolic, and lovers — straight or gay — get wrapped up in their own private worlds.

Englischer Garten, bigger than New York's Central Park, is another sprawling park in the middle of the city. Modern visitors flock to the Greek temple by Leo von Klenze (a distinguished local architect), the Chinese tower with its adjacent beer
