Düsseldorf
Germany
Düsseldorf might be better known for art and Altbier, but it has a gay scene that punches above its weight. Bars and clubs cluster around the Old Town, mixing Rhineland charm with late-night chaos. Pride here, dubbed Christopher Street Day, turns the city into a rainbow carnival on the Rhine.

Germany
Cologne is one of Germany’s gay capitals, where cathedral spires share the skyline with rainbow flags. The Old Town buzzes with bars and clubs that rarely close before sunrise, while Carnival season makes drag practically compulsory. Cologne Pride is one of Europe’s biggest.
