Explore Berlin’s best LGBT hotspots with the QueerBerlin map by Travels of Adam and BertaBerlin. The new map features three walking tours through Berlin & over 50 other queer places — all our favorite recommendations we’d share with our family and friends ❤️
Berlin has a long history as an LGBTQ hotspot and as an LGBTQ-friendly destination. In the 1920s, Berlin was at the center of the flamboyant decade of cabaret and attracted a diverse and international group of LGBTQ individuals.
Today, the city is once again one of the world’s most queer-friendly places with a diverse number of options available to every type of traveler. The QueerBerlin map offers a detailed look into some of Berlin’s newest and queerest hotspots.
From museums, shops, sights, restaurants, cafés, bars, clubs and more, you’ll find plenty of LGBT options for every budget. The map, made in partnership with local travel guide publisher BertaBerlin, includes three unique walking tours through the city. Each walk features LGBT-specific highlights and historical markers.
The QueerBerlin city walks are designed to guide you effortlessly through Berlin to the most exceptional sights like the Reichstag, beer gardens off the beaten path in Tiergarten, select shops on Potsdamer Street, and the Boros Art Collection.
Come and go to as many or few that suit you. Also, the opposite side of the pocket travel guide features even more exclusive LGBT-friendly highlights in Berlin along with detailed maps and photos to help you find your own way.
The map is available to buy online or in select shops, galleries and bars in Berlin for €5. Find it at C/O Gallery, Do You Read Me?, König Galerie, Other Nature, Facciola and many more places.
