Oktoberfest
The Munich Oktoberfest (September 20 - October 5) is quite simply the biggest and best Beer Festival in the world. For sixteen days the Bavarian capital plays host to beer lovers from around the world, with food, funfairs, and unmistakably German entertainment (oompah bands and folk dancing frauleins) thrown in for good measure.
With 13 temporary beer halls supplementing such legendary permanent halls as the Hofbrahaus, there is little chance of going thirsty. Over 1 million gallons of beer are consumed during Oktoberfest, served in 1 litre jugs known as steins.
Accommodation can be a nightmare to find in Munich unless you book months in advance. A popular option for those wanting to experience Oktoberfest for themselves but without the hassle is an organised tour. eBigOE's Recommended Partner PP Travel operates Oktoberfest Tours every September/October.
There are a number of tour options to suit your budget and available time - so to make sure you don't miss out on Oktoberfest or just for more information check out the PP Travel website at www.pptravel.com or contact them direct at:
