On this tour, you will not only discover Munich's most famous sights, but also immerse yourself in the city's eventful LGBTQ history. With exciting anecdotes and humorous facts, you will experience the historical core of the colorful Isar metropolis from a queer perspective.
The starting point is Odeonsplatz - a place of great significance for queer emancipation in Bavaria. During the tour, you will explore other central locations such as the Munich Residence (exterior view), the Hofbräuhaus, and the New Town Halk - always with a view to their queer historical relevance. It becomes clear that Munich was a pioneer of the queer movement in many ways - and has remained so to this day.
