Out and about (#ulink_e2556fe8-a842-5ea1-b72b-1500e6f37b3d)

When out and about in Germany, you might be confronted with much more nudity than in your home country. Saunas, beaches, lakes, rivers, some swimming pools and even public parks can be clothes-free! It is not unusual and not typically considered to have any sexual dimension.

Germany also boasts numerous traditional festivals.

Oktoberfest A Bavarian beer festival held in Munich.

Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt The Christmas Market in Nuremberg is the famous one but Christmas markets are held in most German cities.

Kölner Karneval A huge carnival in Cologne including a week-long street festival, a parade that is usually aired on television and even a special greeting that is used during festivities: Kölle Alaaf!

Nightlife (#ulink_c3dcbde1-fa08-536c-9a74-f5c56ef98aab)

Germany is seen as one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world. There is an active LGBT community, especially in bigger cities, and several prominent politicians are openly gay. However, in some more traditional establishments, open displays of affection between people of the same sex may be frowned upon.
