admira Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Planning on going next year and wondered if anyone had any accommodation tips please? A friend who’s been before suggested staying outside Munich centre as it’s much cheaper and there are plenty of buses / trains in. After any recommendations of specific hotels / apartments really. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Go to Namibia instead. I’ve never been to Germany for Oktoberfest, but I have been to Namibia. It’s an old German colony, so there’s loads of German influence, to the point that traditional tribal clothing is a variant on leiderhosen since colonial times. But more importantly, loads of bierhauses. Great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I have been to the Dublin Oktoberfest a few times - the usual Erdinger and Paulaner everywhere, loads of Bratwurst and Sauerkraut - yum. Porterhouse usually bring in a load of different and unusual beers (that was the first place I ever had eisbock and rauchbier back in 2001 or 2002). I keep saying that I will go to the 'proper' Oktoberfest, but every year I find something else to do other than sitting in a tent swilling beer with hundreds of fellow alcoholics. Just for a change, I'm thinking of going to a beer festival in Belgium in January next year, where I can sit in a tent swilling beer with hundreds of fellow alcoholics.

Would be good to canvass forum members for their views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I went to Oktoberfest I'd just sleep in the street in a puddle of my own urine. Can't you just do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
