Oktoberfest History

Why Prince Ludwig of Bavaria wanted people to share the celebration of his marriage to Princess Therese with 40,000 guests in 1810. This was the first Munich Beerfest.

Where to stay Munich has lots of beds for beer fiends: hostels, apartments, and there's great Hostels in Munich available here too.

Munich Beerfest

Getting there You can fly into direct from anywhere to Munich international airport, or take a train from any major European city.

What to wear Easy, German Lederhosen. I always do. The locals love it, chicks dig it. I rent it before it before I go so as not to disrupt oktoberfest drinking patterns. Looked into buying Laiderhosen in Munich but it was pricey. (it is suede, bells & leather you know)

Nightclubs Das Kunstpark Ost area, a taxi ride out of the city center and Theresienwiese. Be warned that most peoples night will end at the beer tent at around 6pm ! the tents close at 11pm.

Be prepared for... No phone coverage at the beer festival. Set a meeting point area if you're in a group. Oh and please try to pretend you're going to notice someone missing after 5 litres of beer.
