The world famous Oktoberfest which is held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany is back on 21 September to 6 October. With more than six million people from around the world attending the 16 day folk festival every year, you need to be prepared when it comes to organising how to get there and where to stay. With accommodation selling out fast and flight prices creeping up, it’s time to get your once in a lifetime trip booked.
Oktoberfest takes place in Munich: on the so-called Theresienwiese, a 100 acre space, not far from the Old Town and in the middle of Munich’s Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district. In addition to eating, drinking and dancing, visitors can enjoy colourful parades, a variety of fairground rides, and for those not themselves in traditional Bavarian gear, admire those that are.
