Gay Neighbourhoods in Berlin
Berlin's core of queer activity is Nollendorfplatz in Schöneberg in the south west just beside the municipality zoo. Every year, the lesbian and gay street festival takes place here, which marks the start of Pride Week. In the 1920s, the neighbourhood enjoys a well-deserved reputation for some of Berlin's top nightlife, as successfully as restaurants, cafés and shops frequented by the LGBTQ+ community in particular. Other rainbow neighbourhoods in Berlin not to be overlooked include its neighbour Kreuzberg, and the SchwuZ nightclub in Neukölln. There are also shops along the Bergmannstraße as well as exist music venues where LGBTQ+ citizens and visitors meet and have fun. The Mitte neighbourhood also has pockets of LGBTQ+ hotspots including Weinbergpark. Find more scene tips for queer places in Berlin.
