Gay Munich (and lesbian Munich)
Info about gay Munich and lesbian Munich
Though Munich’s gay reputation can’t be compared to other German cities like Cologne and Berlin, there seems to be plenty to keep same-sex-prefering visitors busy.
The Glockenbachviertel district just south of city centre is the traditional gay and lesbian hive. There’s a gay information point (the Schwules Kommunikations- und Kulturzentrum) in this area just near the Sendlinger Tor at Müller Strasse 43.
