Get a look at LGBT history in Munich on this walking tour with a guide who covers over 800 years of local gay history.

Explore Munich's evolution from hidden homosexual lives to the gay city, it is today. Our royals, lawyers, and many others, tried to make life normal, to human nature.

Sodomy laws, purity of race from the Nazi era to modern LGBTQ+ identity.

Visit landmarks important to LGBT history, and hear stories of gay heroes, activists, writers, and resistance fighters.

With a small group, you'll have plenty of chances to ask questions and enjoy an intimate group atmosphere.

    Exploring the vibrant tapestry of queer history during our walking tour was both enlightening and enjoyable, especially when we stumbled upon a hidden bar with stories that date back decades. While the guide’s enthusiasm was infectious, we wished there had been a bit more time for questions or discussions about certain historical events.

    We had an eye-opening experience exploring the rich tapestry of LGBT history during our walking tour. One memorable moment was standing near a historic landmark where a vibrant gathering once took place, bringing to life the struggles and triumphs of the community throughout the years. The guide was genuinely passionate and shared stories that resonated with us, although at times, the pace felt a bit rushed, which made it tricky to absorb everything. Despite this, we walked away incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn about the 800 years of life and culture that shaped the area. Overall, it’s a must-do for families wanting to explore the significance of diversity and acceptance in a unique way.
