About this trip
Three days in Munich centred entirely around Oktoberfest, with your accommodation sorted and the rest left up to you. This is a place-to-stay package rather than a guided trip — no set activities, no group leader, just a base to sleep, shower and recover between beer tents.
You'll get a detailed info pack by email covering Oktoberfest logistics, plus recommendations for museums, Dachau, Neuschwanstein Castle, bike tours and where to eat and drink, so you can build your own days around the festival.
Suits groups of mates, couples, or solo travellers happy to do their own thing and meet people at the tents rather than through organised group activities.
What you'll do
- Attend Oktoberfest itself on the Friday and Saturday
- Use the info pack to plan visits to Dachau or Neuschwanstein Castle
- Explore Munich's museums and Bavarian history at your own pace
- Option to join a bike tour around the city
- Choose between a shared dorm hostel or a private room package
- This is self-guided — there's no group leader or scheduled itinerary
- No activities are included beyond your stay; everything else is up to you using the recommendations provided
- Munich gets extremely busy during Oktoberfest, which is part of the appeal but worth expecting
Worth it if you want hassle-free Oktoberfest access with a solid group and actually want to see Munich beyond the beer tents. Think twice if you need complete independence or dislike early starts to secure tent spots.
- Trip leaders actively show you best tents, teach drinking songs, share beers with you on day one.
- Hostels are clean, modern, ten minutes from Oktoberfest, with private bathrooms and unlimited breakfast included.
- Optional tours (beer walking tour, Dachau) let you balance festival excess with actual Munich culture and history.
- You must arrive early on Saturday or queue for hours; tent access isn't guaranteed without leg work.
