Living in or moving to Berlin can feel daunting when searching for activities and spaces that align with your interests, especially as a BiPOC and Queer person. We've created this guide to make your search a little easier.
Below is a list of different places and activities that cater to BiPOC and Queer communities. We hope it gives you some ideas for what to do in Berlin-these spaces can be hard to find in Germany, but they do exist.
