Meet Me in Munich: A Beer Lover's Guide to Oktoberfest

By Moses Wolff and Volker Derlath

Everything a visitor needs to know about Munich’s Oktoberfest, including its history, how to get there, and what to see, eat, and—of course—drink.

Munich’s Oktoberfest, held each year since 1810 from late September through the first weekend in October, is one of the most famous events in Germany. It is a beer drinker’s paradise—over the course of sixteen days, more than six million visitors consume nearly two million gallons of specially brewed Oktoberfest beer. For the first-time visitor to the Wies’n (a meadow near Munich’s center dedicated to the festival), Oktoberfest can be a little overwhelming. Fortunately, Moses Wolff hasn’t missed a day of Oktoberfest in years, and he knows the festival like the back of his hand.
