Berlin is a city with a queer legacy that runs deep. Around Nollendorfplatz, the rainbow flags aren’t a seasonal flourish, they’re part of the neighbourhood’s DNA. What makes the city extraordinary is how it continues to honour that legacy by offering space for people with every kind of identity to feel safe, seen, and free.
As a queer and neurodivergent traveller, I’ve learned how much it matters when a place meets you with warmth, not questions. Unexpected hurdles such as strict late check-in times can be triggering when you just want to drop off your things and get on with your trip. Berlin with its welcoming and inclusive spirit, makes things far more seamless than most destinations.
