11 Queer Spots in Berlin

Berlin is always one of the best gay travelers’ destination, but it’s not always easy to find the queer pulse in the German capital. Luckily travel writer Adam Groffman from TravelsofAdam.com and me did publish a very effective and easy-to-use QueerBerlin map. And here I give you 11 queer lovely spots in Berlin.
