Munich, Germany
What 90% of solo women don't know about staying safe in Munich.
Munich's LGBTQ+ center with decades of history. Inclusive atmosphere, active nightlife, streets that stay busy late. Good for meeting people.
Rainbow flags year-round mark this as Munich's LGBTQ+ center. The area around Hans-Sachs-Straße and Gärtnerplatz evolved from 1950s underground gay bars to today's openly inclusive cafes and nightlife. Streets stay active late with locals heading to bars, couples on dates, groups of friends - enough foot traffic to feel comfortable walking around. Bar seating at many places makes it easy to eat alone or strike up conversations. English is common since the LGBTQ+ scene attracts international visitors. CSD Pride in June and the Hans-Sachs Street Party in August (10,000+ people) show the community vibe. Police visibility is decent and the area has a reputation for safety after dark. You'll find everything from Egyptian-themed Café Nil to traditional Bavarian at Restaurant Deutsche Eiche within walking distance. The Isar River runs along one side with green space and paths for daytime walks.
