QueerBerlin map
LET US GUIDE YOU
Let us take you on a walk through our city. QueerBerlin is a locally-curated collection of secret spots and LGBT-friendly gems crafted so you can explore Berlin with ease by way of simply suggested city walks or more spontaneous choose-your-own-adventure routes. The pocket-size folding map includes the sights and attractions for important historical places as well as underground and local favorites to help make the most of your Berlin experience.
Berlin has a long history as an LGBT hotspot and LGBT-friendly destination. In the 1920s, Berlin was at the center of the flamboyant decade of cabaret and attracted a diverse and international group of LGBT 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.
QueerBerlin walk with Berta
Once a month you can also join me on a walk through Schöneberg, where I show you my queer highlights of the 20th in Berlin. Let me walk you through nearly a 100 years of queer history in a city where sexual identity can be freely expressed & desires of all varieties fulfilled! We’ll meet in Schöneberg, a queer district famed for its alternative nightlife. This area blossomed in the 20s only to be crushed by Hitler, before blooming again in the 70s. One stop on our tour will be the former Eldorado nightclub, a popular Weimar-era haunt, another the Berlin home of author Christopher Isherwood, who immortalised the city in his book Goodbye to Berlin.

From museums, shops, sights, restaurants, cafés, bars, clubs and more, you will find boundless options for every budget.
