Hamburg for Queer and Friends

Hamburg has something to offer for everyone!

As a cosmopolitan city, Hamburg has something to offer for everyone: whether it's the many cultural and architectural highlights, the vibrant nightlife, the creative gastronomic scene or the city's maritime flair - there's always something going on in Hamburg. In addition, there are countless places where the Lqueer community and friends are at home and happy to welcome guests. Epicenter is probably the Lange Reihe in St. Georg - here the rainbow flag is hoisted almost everywhere. However, the variety of queer offers and events is spread all over Hamburg's urban space. Here we give an overview of the nicest bars and cafés, present Hamburg's most colorful neighborhoods and of course all the important events for the queer community and friends - from Christopher Street Day to the funky Christmas market "Winter Pride".
