What You Will Do

Besides being the largest beer festival in the world, the Oktoberfest is an event rooted in Munich’s history and impregnated with the rich Bavarian culture, which makes it a manifold experience for young and old alike. My tour is meant to disclose you the traditional side of the festival and give you the chance to feel its genuine vibe and enjoy it like a local. Along our 2-hours walk you will learn how a royal wedding laid the foundations for a worldwide renowned festival, why the locals call the Oktoberfest the “Meadow”, how come there are only six breweries serving their beers to the millions of festival guests and why does the Oktoberfest start in September. We will visit the tents, for you to feel the true Oktoberfest spirit and to discover where to enjoy the best grilled fish, roasted ox, organic venison and chicken, where to get a glass of wine or champagne, and where to treat your children to an excellent Kaiserschmarrn. So join me and let the Oktoberfest discovery begin!
