Hi everyone I would really like to go to the Oktoberfest this year.

As it turns out the hotels aer expensive in the city does anyone know of any hotels in areas out side of the city centre where it is still easy to get to the fair?

Hello David,

welcome to onride.de!


Since I'm not from Munich, I can only give you
some hints about the small towns and suburbian
area near Munich.

You can get some cheat or normal prized B&B in
Fuerstenfeldbruck or also Pfaffenhofen.

The Oktoberfest is located at the Teresienwiese
in central Munich. You can reach it quite easy
via the regional city-train system (S-Bahn) from
both towns. The city-train station Hackerbruecke
is very near to the Theresienwiese. Munich also
has a subway-system which is connected to the
Oktoberfest.You can buy special tickets which are
valid for the whole Munich area transportation-system.
Also group-tickets are available.

Another hint for the Oktoberfest is, that when you
want to enter a festival-tent with typical atmosphere,
just be sure to enter the Theresienwiese before lunchtime
since sometimes the breweries close the tent at about
11:00am due to the crowds. But anyway mostly I prefered
having my beer outside the tents, it's a wonderful big
"beergarden" thats how Germans call an outside-pub.

Hope this helps, enjoy you trip to Munich!
