Gärtnerplatz

Gärtnerplatz is situated in the Glockenbachviertel, an area of Munich known to be favoured by homosexuals and by all for going out in, shopping at the 'gay-friendly' shops and hairdressers (look out for the little rainbow flags in the shop windows!) and also to live in. Apparently Freddie Mercury used to live in the GBV. Controversially, this area is now becoming 'young, hip and trendy', with more and more heterosexuals moving in.

Gärtnerplatz is actually a roundabout where Klenzestraße, Corneliusstraße and Reichenbachstraße meet. There are benches, stretches of grass and flowerbeds as well as a fountain in the middle, so you often see sunbathers catching a few rays. The Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz is the well-known state theatre.
