Gay Guide to Nürnberg
Nuremberg's gay scene centers on Gostenhof, a gentrifying district just west of the old town with several LGBTQ+ venues among its bars and studios. Bar59, in the heart of the old town, is a long-running favorite that turns into a gay bar on weekends, alongside spots like Cubus and Savoy. CSD Nürnberg takes over the central Hauptmarkt in summer and routes its parade deliberately through sites tied to the city's Nazi-era history as a counter-statement, drawing crowds in the tens of thousands. For a mid-size Bavarian city, the scene is steady and easy to navigate on foot.
