After check-in at your central Munich accommodation, you'll be met by an expert guide for a 2-hour walking tour of Munich. See top attractions such as the famous Marienplatz square, and visit stores selling traditional Bavarian outfits of Lederhosen and Dirndls - perfect attire for blending in with the locals at Oktoberfest! In the evening, you'll visit a recommended Munich Beerhouse, so you can start sampling the steins of beer which will feature throughout your weekend!
Head out early the next morning to the Oktoberfest grounds, and soak up the festival spirit. Known locally as the "Wiesn", Oktoberfest started in 1810 when it was created to celebrate the royal wedding of Prince Ludwig II to Princess Therese of Saxony. Held almost every year since, the beer festival has become one of the world's biggest parties, and empty seats in the beer tents are notoriously difficult to find! Handily, your 4-day package includes some sought-after seats in the famous Lowenbrau beer tent.
In total, the Oktoberfest grounds contain 14 beer tents, and your expert guides will happily share their recommendations. All serve hearty German food alongside the obligatory steins of beer, so be sure to try out traditional specialties of Bratwurst (sausages) or Wiener Schnitzel (breaded veal) to soak up the beer! Fair rides and carousels are also within the grounds, providing entertainment alongside a backdrop of oom-pah music and joviality from the Oktoberfest crowds.
For those keen to sample a more sedate side of Bavaria, swap your second day at Oktoberfest for a day-trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. The full-day Neuschwanstein trip includes a coach transfer from Munich.

Itinerary:
Day 1: Munich Walking TourUpon arrival at your centrally located Munich hostel, you will be greeted by your festival guide before heading off on a Munich walking tour, to help you get your bearings. Take in famous sights such as the Royal Garden (Hofgarten) and the beautiful Marienplatz square. Besides seeing top Munich attractions, your guide will take you to the best shops to buy Bavarian clothes (lederhosen and dirndls) should you want to get kitted up for the festival! Finish the evening in a traditional beer hall, where you can party the night away or simply indulge in a few quality Munich beers.
Day 2: Oktoberfest time (B)
Arise early for a continental breakfast to get the day started. You’ll be setting off at approximately 8am to make the short walk over to the festival ground where the beer tents open from 8:30am. Recommended tents include the world-famous Hofbrau Festhalle, the friendly Augustinerbrau, the traditional Schottenhamel and, of course, the legendary Lowenbrau, where seats await for you if needed. Spend your day at leisure, drinking steins of beer and soaking up the merry atmosphere!
Day 3: Oktoberfest or Neuschwanstein Castle (B)
