Gay Cruising in Berlin
Like many cities with a vibrant gay scene, Berlin offers plenty of outdoor cruising spots - from parks to discreet public toilets. While these places can be tricky to find if you're not familiar with the local landscape, GayKinkTrip.com has mapped out some of the outdoor cruising areas to help get you started. Naturally, there are always a few hidden places still waiting to be discovered.
Beyond the outdoor scene, hookup apps are widely used and fully integrated into Berlin’s cruising culture.
Grindr and PlanetRomeo are especially popular, making it easy to connect - whether you're looking for a quick anonymous encounter or something a little more social.
And let’s be real: sometimes, all you need is a quick hotel hookup and you're good to go.
Volkspark Friedrichshain
To find the action, go to the slopes on the hill behind the Spanienkämpfer-Denkmal (the memorial for the victims of the Spanish Civil War), on Friedenstrasse. The fun goes on day and night.

Volkspark Hasenheide
This park has an FKK (naturist) area, and in the overgrown forest behind this area there is a cruising area with lots of slopes. Cruising goes on during day and night. Often younger crowd.
It's also been said that the toilet at the café is a cruising spot.

Tiergarten
Tiergarten is centrally located in the middle of Berlin. The cruising area is located along the Bremer Weg, close to Löwenbrücke. There are small paths and bushes that makes it a bit private and hidden. This cruising area is mostly busy at dusk. Mixed crowed, all ages. It is close to the FKK area (nudist) near the Siegessäule (Victory column).
The toilet at the Siegessäule (Victory Column) is a popular cruising toilet. It is located in Haus C, on the right side of the building.
