Planten un Blomen

Planten un Blomen, the large central park near the old town and St. Pauli, has a discreet, seasonal gay cruising presence in its quieter corners, noted in several city cruising guides. Being a popular family and tourist park with fixed opening hours, activity is limited and low-key. Same-sex activity is legal in Germany; visitors should be especially discreet here given the park's central, well-used character.
