Pro tips for Oktoberfest Weekend:
Saturday is the busiest day of Oktoberfest each weekend. Entry to the beer tents is first come, first served, so we recommend arriving at the festival grounds early in the morning.
Once inside, you’ll be part of the world’s largest beer festival, surrounded by travelers from across the globe, singing traditional Bavarian songs and experiencing the unique atmosphere of Munich in full celebration.
Your Bus2alps trip leaders will provide recommendations on the most popular beer tents to visit. If you arrive later and are unable to enter the tents right away, we recommend enjoying the festival grounds—explore the nostalgic Festzelt Tradition tent, sample the many food options, and take a spin on the carnival rides—until space opens up for the next round of entry.
If you want to explore more of Munich, we recommend visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, the Deutsches Museum, the BMW Museum, Olympiapark Munich, and the Munich Zoo.
On the first weekend of Oktoberfest, the kegs are tapped on Saturday to officially kick off the festival celebrations.
Meet your Bus2alps trip leaders at your scheduled departure time and location, and then we’ll head back to Florence.
