Cologne

Pride & Events

Cologne is not only a hotspot for business conferences. The city hosts countless festivals and events throughout the year, and whether you're a gay or a gamer or both, there are plenty of gatherings one might wish to plan a trip around. Christoper Street Day (Germany's gay pride) is, as always, quite the party, and there are also celebrations focusing on more specific groups of the gay community in the months leading up to the celebrations and following them. One of the city's most unique festivals is City Leaks, a showcase of urban art like none other in Europe.
