Join us for the ultimate Oktoberfest experience—two days (and an optional third day) of non-stop fun with reserved seating, delicious meals, and endless beer in the heart of Munich's most iconic tents! Celebrate with traditional Bavarian music, thrilling carnival rides, and mouthwatering food, all while creating unforgettable memories.
On days when we’re not at the festival, the adventure continues with a journey through Bavaria’s breathtaking countryside. We'll explore historic breweries, visit the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle, and uncover other hidden gems along the way. It’s the perfect mix of festive celebration, cultural discovery, and—of course—more beer. Prost!
Oktoberfest began in 1810 as a royal wedding celebration for Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese. The people of Munich were invited to join in the festivities, which included horse races, feasting, and drinking. Over time, the event grew into a larger festival with beer tents, carnival rides, and music.
The event is most famous for its beer, with attendees enjoying specially brewed Oktoberfest beers that are made by six major Munich breweries: Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Löwenbräu, Münchener, Paulaner, and Spaten. These beers are typically Märzen-style lagers, which are brewed in March and traditionally served during the festival. The beer is served in large steins (liter mugs) and is a central part of the experience.
Oktoberfest celebrates Bavarian culture with traditional food like pretzels, sausages, and roasted chicken. Visitors often wear dirndls and lederhosen, and lively polka music fills the air, creating a festive atmosphere.
