Everything You Need to Know about Oktoberfest

Nowadays, it is safe to assume that most Western adults have heard of Oktoberfest. As you might have guessed, this German beer festival takes place once a year. If the very first Oktoberfest was celebrated in Munich, today we can find similar celebrations throughout Germany and even around the world. There is even an Oktoberfest celebration in our home-town where there is a large German population including Kati.  Is it good?  Not really.  We have gone a couple of times but quit going a few years ago. The official Oktoberfest is held on Theresienwiese Square (Wiese = meadow) in Munich. Contrary to what its name indicates, it does not begin in October but in September (more precisely on September 17, this year) and lasts until the first weekend of October. This year, October 3 (which is National Day of Germany) falls on a Monday, adding a day of celebration to this closing weekend. Oktoberfest does have a historical past and traditions, without which Munich would not be the same. This article will answer your questions and give you an overview of the annual Oktoberfest, what to do there, and everything you can find there. This map was created with Wanderlog, a trip planner on iOS and Android

  Oktoberfest, What is it?

Oktoberfest is a festival that takes place in Munich every year. Generally, it lasts two weeks, begins in mid-September, and ends on the first Sunday of October. It was on October 12, 1810, that the first edition took place. The festival ended five days later at the Theresienwiese, with a hair race. A few years later, during the 20th century, this festival became an agricultural fair before breweries and small restaurants were established. Today, the mayor of Munich opens the festival by tapping the first cask. The Oktoberfest attracts over six million people each year, many of them tourists. Today, men and women wear traditional Bavarian clothing. The women wear Dirndl, a colorful dress on a white blouse. The men wear Lederhosen, a type of capri pants/shorts with suspenders, and a white shirt.

  What Do We Do at Oktoberfest?

As tradition dictates, Oktoberfest begins on the penultimate Saturday of the month at noon sharp, when the mayor of Munich opens the first keg of beer, shouting “O'zapft is” (the Bavarian pronunciation of “angezapft ist es”, which announces that the first keg is open and the beer can begin to flow). Theresienwiese Square (also called “Festwiese”, the party square) is filled with tents erected during the summer, held by different breweries offering six local beers. Some of them are prohibited for minors, so remember to find out before you go! In addition to the beer, these tents each have their own decoration, their spirit, and also their popularity. We can, therefore, only recommend that you choose the tent according to your tastes: Do you prefer to be surrounded by a crowd, or in a quiet place? Do you have the patience to wait to be seated? The question of what to do at Oktoberfest almost automatically leads to the answer “drink beer!”. Indeed, as its name suggests, there is a lot of beer. They are usually served in 1-litre glasses (called “Maß”) and tradition and their rather low-price dictate that you always tip the waiters, at the risk of appearing very rude. The waitresses usually wear the traditional Bavarian attire known as a "Dirndl" and are known to be able to carry more beers than you can drink without fainting. There are, of course, non-alcoholic drinks and wine in the “Weinzelt” (the wine tent), although it is a bit shameful to be seen drinking wine at Oktoberfest. It is also essential to add that there is more to Oktoberfest than just drinking beer: This remarkable party is first and foremost a human gathering. People sing and dance together, sometimes even on the benches. There is a carnival, parades, and small shops where you can buy your partner a “Lebkuchenherz”, the famous heart-shaped gingerbread.

With 6 million people going to Oktoberfest, get ready for the crowds.

How Much Should You Budget For Oktoberfest?

The budget for your stay at Oktoberfest depends mainly on what you are willing to eat and drink. The good news is that entry to Oktoberfest is and always has been 100% free. Regarding the price of drinks, a liter of beer is around 12 euros. It takes a little less for non-alcoholic drinks. 

  What Do We Eat at Oktoberfest?

The Oktoberfest is also an opportunity to discover Bavarian culinary specialties. Among them, we can find Brezn (large pretzels), Haxn (smoked ham), Obazda (a Bavarian cheese), and Hendl (roasted chicken), among many others. Some tents open their doors an hour before serving beer and allow you to bring your own breakfast. Be careful though, recent security standards no longer allow bringing too big bags to Oktoberfest. But back to what we drink at Oktoberfest. As mentioned earlier, there are six different beers. And because they each have their own taste and percentage of alcohol; our best advice is to try them all! Remember to remember the word “Prost!” (Health!) to be able to toast with those around you. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can also add your voice to the traditional chant: “Oans, zwoa, gsuffa!” (To the one, to the two, let's drink!)  

Where to Sleep in Munich during Oktoberfest?

Munich is a very expensive city in terms of hotels and accommodation of all types, including hostels, even outside of Oktoberfest. If your budget does not allow you to go to the hotel (up to 1000€ per night!!!), consider renting an apartment, in bed and breakfast or in a boarding house, a small family establishment offering breakfast and sometimes meals. Youth hostels and camping in Munich will be less expensive if you do not care about comfort.  Campsites including tent, sleeping bag, breakfast and unlimited beer are the most economical solution (around €75/night, €150 for three days), but require you to accept approximately 2 hours of travel to the Wiesn. If hotels are prohibitive on weekends, last-minute prices during the week on sites like Booking can be attractive (around €100) and even cheaper than apartments or guest rooms rented in advance. Sometimes it makes more sense to wait for those last-minute deals than to book weeks in advance when prices are very high!

  Our Final Word

So, are you ready to put on your Lederhosen or Dirndl and head to Munich to have some traditional German food and lots and lots of beer?  Oktoberfest is on many travelers' bucket list. But beware.  During Oktoberfest, the city gets packed and there are drunk people everywhere, and all the time.  All the drunken antics often lead to fights and what the Germans call bierleichen, or "beer corpses".  These are people that have had so much to drink that they are passed out drunk behind the tents. So, If you can put up with that and the immense crowds it is totally worth going and experiencing one of the world's greatest festivals.

Wiesbaden - A Winter Wonderland

The next day we took an early train to Wiesbaden. As I was leaving the train station, I remember wondering if it was going to be worth the visit for it initially struck me as “just another city”. As we kept on walking towards the city center, we arrived at this beautiful allée –called Adolfsallee– framed by snowy trees and ornamented with frozen fountains – all the prior thoughts were forgotten.

We continued down this street and got to Luisenplatz. This square, which hosts the church of Saint Bonifatius, was so calm, peaceful and powdered in white. The best part: having it practically to ourselves (when I say practically it’s because we shared a lovely moment with a flock of pigeons) with that beautiful gothic church in the background, boasting its two tall and lean bell towers.

After our pigeon-related fun and walking through downtown Wiesbaden, we found ourselves at the Marktplatz, where we were surrounded by Renaissance revival and gothic styles: the Rathaus with its pink façade and beautifully patterned roof tiles and the magnificent red-brick Marktkirche. This architectural bonanza definitively made the Christmas market there much more enjoyable. Following our expedition, we reached Wilhelmstrasse which, to our surprise, was quite gusty but did not wear off our determination to discover what else the city had to offer. Walking up this street we got to this open space completely buried in snow, it didn’t matter to which corner you looked at: it was all white, white, white! Bowling Green is a park with two fountains (quite perilous, even for such a cautious traveler as myself – I’ll explain later), joining the Kurhausplatz, the Stadt Theater, the Wiesbaden Kurhaus and its Casino. The buildings surrounding the park display a neo-classical style with some elements of art nouveau and Belle Époque (I don’t know if you’ve noticed so far, but I’m an architecture enthusiast), and frame the park so exquisitely, particularly since everything was pristine white, this view was one of my favorites from this trip.

We learned this space hosts concerts when the weather is friendlier – I’m sure it would be great to experience one! Maybe it was all that snowy beauty, but I suddenly got in a very playful mood and decided to start throwing snow at my mom and sister (confession time: I’m the bully in the family), but one of the fountains would soon snap me back into my senses; I -smartly or stupidly- opted to step on its edge and… my foot slipped! I was oh so very close to falling into the frozen water I think my mother almost got a heart attack.

Getting back to a more serious mood, we went into the Kurhaus Casino and it was truly something: high ceilings, marble-covered walls, amazing chandeliers and a wonderful Christmas tree coated in red flowers decorating the middle of the main hall. This casino is notable for allowing one of the highest roulette bets in Germany and, it is said, this is where Dostoyevsky received inspiration for his novel, The Gambler.

After exiting the casino from its back door, we encountered the Kurpark, where we took a long, leisurely walk just absorbing its wintery peace, its beautiful green hues subdued by snow and the sound of the water shoot on the Salzbach stream. Following our lovely walk, we randomly walked to find ourselves on Wilhelmstrasse again and on our way back to the train station to close out our escapade in Germany.

For anyone interested in exploring Christmas markets, I would totally recommend this adventure for the holidays. There are many places and markets to see, a lot of food to try and beautiful settings awaiting. Our day trip approach felt very comfortable, as we avoided carrying our luggage around and allowed us to visit more places in less time, and having such an efficient train system as they do in Germany certainly simplifies things. Just do some research on the destinations you’re keen on seeing and lay out your transportation plans. I, for one, can’t wait to discover more Christmas markets! Perhaps in Eastern Europe next time?
