Last edition
Past edition closed — with confirmed data on attendance, route and lineup. Archive — no longer changes.
The 45th anniversary drew some 300,000 people around a 3.5-km PolitParade with 201 groups and the biggest street festival in its history, with the main stage at Marienplatz and a second stage on Kaufingerstraße. The motto, inspired by the French Revolution, defended freedom and democracy against rising extremism. It was the festival's last edition in the old town: 2026 debuts the Ludwigstraße PrideMeile.

Practical tips
for experiencing CSD München · Munich Pride
The practical stuff so Pride week works — arrival, accommodation, transport and what to bring.
Arrive Wednesday · leave Monday
The Pride core runs from Thursday to Sunday. Arriving Wednesday gives you a day to acclimate before the rush. Book at least 3 months ahead — the best hotels are gone by April.
Close to the route · 0-10 min walking
Hotels near the route are gold during Pride — you can walk back without fighting for a taxi. Prices rise +30-50% that week.
Plane + public transport
Urban airports usually have a metro or commuter train direct to the center. Taxi/Uber/Cabify run all night. High-speed rail is competitive for distances <3h.
Extended metro · streets closed
Many metro systems run 24h on Pride weekend. The route streets are closed to traffic — taxis don't enter. Walking is usually fastest.
Heat · shade · water · comfy shoes
European summer in the street: cap, sunglasses, SPF 50, reusable water bottle. Closed shoes for the march — stepping on toes is real.
Reinforced health services
Temporary health stations are usually set up in central squares during Pride. STI/PrEP centers often extend hours. EU: EHIC covers emergencies. Other: private insurance recommended.
