Oktoberfest is the world's largest folk festival — sixteen days every September and October in Munich where six million people from across the globe gather in enormous beer tents to drink Bavarian lager, eat pretzels, wear lederhosen and celebrate one of Germany's greatest traditions. The combination of extraordinary hospitality, world-class beer and pure joy makes it one of the great human gatherings.
16 days of beer, pretzels and lederhosen. Book beer tent reservations months ahead — walk-in space fills by 9am. Stay in Munich city center, 15 minutes by U-Bahn.
