The Pink Christmas Market. A dedicated gay Christmas market, the Pink Christmas Market welcomes everyone with its festive atmosphere. Located in the heart of the famous Glockenbachviertel neighborhood in Munich, next to the Isar River, the market features nightly music and cabaret shows and runs through December 23. www.pink-christmas.de

Munich
The capital of Germany's southernmost state Bavaria and a world-class city, Munich combines tradition with modernity. Munich’s wealth of art and culture, its rich history, and colorful traditions provide an ideal base for holiday travel throughout Bavaria with 5000 restaurants and more than 60 museums and a wide range of hotels including three new luxury hotels: Andaz, Roomers and Steigenberger. Celebrating its 500th anniversary this past year, the Bavarian Purity Law has guaranteed purity and transparency of ingredients in Bavarian beer since 1516, effectively one of the earliest efforts to ensure purity in food and drinks for consumers. For 2017, Munich will open the Apassionata Park Munich, the world’s first horse theme park. http://www.muenchen.de/int/en.html, Facebook: https://de-de.facebook.com/muenchen Twitter: https://twitter.com/muenchende Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/muenchen/ Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/+muenchende/posts
