We’ll make sure you are ready for the weather, know the words to the popular oktoberfest songs, pick the right beer tent, and even have the right clothing to wear to the party. The World Health Organization announced that Germany was only the 23rd drunkest country in the world a few years back. They obviously need a bit of American assistance to move up in the rankings, and would definitely welcome your visit. In this spirit, we’ve put together a ladies guide, a guide for doing Oktoberfest with kids, and a few other tips.
When you are done drinking your Oktoberfest beer, you’ll enjoy the other Oktoberfest activities. And when they have turned the taps to the kegs off, you can continue the party at these bars, clubs and beer gardens.
We’ve also put together an extensive travel guide for the city of Munich. As long as you are going to be in Munich, you would be crazy to spend all of your time drinking. There’s fantastic things to do in Munich, including incredible dining, tremendous museums, beautiful theatres, and world class shopping. We’ll get you educated about Munich history, suggest some other cities in Europe to visit before or after Munich, and send you on your way. Whether you are doing Munich with kids or alone, you’ll have a great time there during Oktoberfest.
There’s only one thing left to do: exchange your money!
