Oktoberfest | Munich<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the biggest event, Oktoberfest. Once a year, the Theresienwiese in the center of Munich <\/strong>is transformed into a small town of tents, beer stands, food stalls, and fairground rides. Many visitors come dressed in traditional Bavarian clothing, i.e., lederhosen for the men and dirndls for the women. The focus is not only on enjoying beer, but also on other things. Beer is served in a \u201cMa\u00df\u201d, a one-liter beer mug. As a rule, light beer is served. In 2025, the average price was between 15 and 16 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
