The City Scene

Every major city in Germany has a developed and varied gay and lesbian scene. In some cities, such as Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, gay addresses are pretty much concentrated in two or three neighborhoods. While in Berlin and Cologne - usually classed as the two most prominent gay and lesbian cities, there are gay neighborhoods throughout the city. In each, one or more weekly or monthly journals are distributed free of charge at gay bars, restaurants and clubs - giving useful addresses as well as a calendar of events, parties and happenings.
