<<<<Tips for Oktoberfest>>>>
1. Know the website
2. Book a place to stay in advance
Hotel rooms, apartments, bed and breakfast places (whichever you prefer) but get them earlier than two months beforehand because prices become sky high!
3. Google maps
Is a lifesaver! Use it for the metro system. It will calculate the closest station, times of arrival and departure, and steps to get to where you need to go
4. You speak English? No problem
Most Germans speak some as well
So the other week my husband and I, plus another couple (aka husband’s co-worker and his wife), went to G • E • R • M • A • N • Y…. cue in a major excited happy face!!!! シ
I especially enjoyed eating breakfast in Germany because they serve breakfast foods (like America and unlike Italy which dishes pastries, fruits, meats and cheeses for breakfast).
Actually, to be quite honest with you, Food in general is my favorite thing to experience when traveling into different countries. Yum yum yummmm, feed me!! haha
We managed to acquire a table in the Lowenbrau tent, which was packed, without having to reserve it months in advance, plus paying a lofty amount of euro just to sit, yikes! We got ours for Freee—Yippiee
We stayed in the tent for several hours. My goal was to enjoy the atmosphere and people watch. Many folks were there to get drunk, lessbee honest.
But the entire event is actually family friendly!! No one can obtain a beer unless sitting at a table inside a tent so there’s no drinking while walking around—which I thought was awesome!
Oktoberfest was more than I expected and I enjoyed dressing up too!! It was an eventful experience. I hear there is a big parade that opens up the three week festival, so maybe next year we’ll be back to experience that!! (:
