Romantica is a small techno club in central Stuttgart focused on techno, electro and house. Under the motto "Come in and feel free," the club explicitly presents itself as open to the whole queer community and is listed as an official venue for Stuttgart's Pride. Several Stuttgart nightlife guides list Romantica among the city's gay-friendly addresses, with some nights built around a dedicated queer program and others open to everyone. The venue is deliberately small, which creates a dense, personal atmosphere on the dance floor rather than the anonymity of bigger halls. Anyone looking for electronic music in a setting built around respect and openness will find a steady home base in Stuttgart's scene at Romantica.
