Each year Oktoberfest is attended by more than 6 million visitors who drink nearly 7 million liters of beer. Our local guide will escort you by public tram (just one stop) to the festival for a day of oompah bands, giant pretzels and other Bavarian treats, German Heritage, and non-stop fun. This evening, you will experience Oktoberfest as the locals do, with reserved seats in one of the famous beer tents. Each “tent” has its own unique character – from the relatively intimate 3,400-seat Hippodrom to the 9,300-seat Schottenhamel. B,D
