Munich’s Christmas Markets: the gayest market of them all

Posted by Jul on 7 December 2008

This weekend the long-awaited Pink Christmas market finally opened for business. It wasn’t exactly the best Christmas-market weather out, what with all the cold and rain and wind, but we managed to squeeze in a quickie glühwein there. How can you not love a city with a gay Christmas market?

I’m telling you, the tree was asking for it.

Pink Christmas is a tiny little market, with just a handful of stands, but it is quite close to the somewhat larger and more traditional Sendlinger Tor market. No Christmas market tour of Munich is complete without a visit to both.

  Less a market, and more just a giant outdoor gay bar. Not tha there’s anything wrong with that…

  That, to quote big gay Al, is simply SUPER (thanks for asking).
