To celebrate the end of June Pride Month, we will walk a route discovering the Queer History of Utrecht.

Also read more about the various locations on this website during the walk. The route includes 9 locations, each featuring images and stories about remarkable people and events from Utrecht’s queer past. We will take a few detours from this posted route, but will make sure to visit all locations on the way.

We will meet at Domplein, near the Sun (big orb) in front of the Academiegebouw of Universiteit Utrecht.
After the walk we could stop for a drink at Mariaplaats (optional, not included and at your own expense), share our results and talk photography.

Let’s meetup and have fun!
