The Mecca Of Beer Is Here
Oktoberfest is the largest beer festival in the world! As well as the beer tents it also has a huge theme park that really does take over Munich (and other places in Germany) for 16 days of the year.
Every year more than 6 million people join the party in the city of Munich. This leads to almost 10 million litres of beer being drunk, along with great food being eaten, and a lot of dances and laughs being shared.
This incredible festival has live bands, parades, a huge funfair that includes rollercoasters, and it's all held in high spirits celebrating Bavarian culture. Make sure to get yourself a Lederhosen or a Dirndl. Regular clothing will make you stand out like a sore thumb.

Faq?
Oktoberfest runs every year for at least 16 days starting in September. It ends on the first Sunday of October or on October 3rd, whichever is later.
So, you will be drinking steins, so these are 1 litre. So while they cost upwards of £10 a stein, it's not too expensive, and you definitely won't be going onto doubles and mixers in the tents.
In our opinion not, the problem with the tents, similar to at Running With the Bulls and similar festivals, is that you need to get a bus out of the city which can take a long time. Also, does anything beat a nice bed to sleep in when drunk?
1-5 Days is perfect for Oktoberfest. You don't need to be there for a week, unless you really are a die hard drinker and can pace yourself.
