Oktoberfest 2025 in Munich takes place from

Sep. 20th until Oct. 5th 2025.

You don't need a ticket to enter Oktoberfest and there are no entry fees to access the main festival grounds.

But because of the crowds it is often difficult to find a table or even enter in one of the popular beer tents.

With our Oktoberfest Tours you don't have to worry about this, as there are table reservations within the major Oktoberfest tents included in the tour.

As for now we are offering guided day, evening and traditional tours to the Munich Oktoberfest.

Most Oktoberfest visitors wear traditional Bavarian clothes, which is a "Dirndl" for women and "Lederhosen" for men.

This is by all means not mandatory, there are also people who are dressed in casual clothes.

However, we do recommend to dress up as you will feel a lot more integrated in the whole Oktoberfest theme by wearing the traditional Bavarian outfit.

Please avoid wearing cheap plastic costumes as you will immediately stick out as a tourist. Dirndl and Lederhosen are not considered a costume for locals and for that reason the plastic version of the traditional clothes is only worn by tourists and can even be seen as disrestpectfull.

Wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a jacket is a must for any outfit :-)

Our tours also take place if it rains.

On rainy days we do suggest to bring a rain proof jacket and an umbrella.

Everyone from age 18 can join our tours. 

At Oktoberfest you can find a wide variety of traditional Bavarian food.

The most popular food options inside the Oktoberfest tents are 1/2 roast chicken with an Oktoberfest Pretzel.

Other popular main dishes are pork roast or roasted pork knuckle with dumplings, Wiener Schnitzel, Currywurst and Käsespätzle ("Bavarian mac and cheese").

In the many food stalls of Oktoberfest you can find a big variety of sweet food, the most popular here are roasted almonds and ginger hearts. The iconic ginger hearts are more used as decoration than to eat nowadays but also taste delicious. Inside the Oktoberfest tents you can order a plate of Apfelstrudel or Kaiserschmarrn as delicious dessert.

At Oktoberfest you can enjoy the beers from Munich breweries. Inside the big beer tents the beer options are usually limited to Helles (lager beer) and Radler (shandy - a Helles mixed with sparkling lemonade).

The Helles served at Oktoberfest is usually a special Oktoberfest brew that is stronger than the usual Helles beer.

There are 17 big beer tents at the Oktoberfest festival grounds and many more small tents and bars, each with individual themes and decorations.

Here you can find an overview of the big Oktoberfest tents.

The typicall Oktoberfest music are songs that can easily be singed along with by the crowds in the beer tents. The Oktoberfest songs never fail to create a the best mood and vibe which the famous Oktoberfest is known for.

Here you can find out more about the most popular Oktoberfest music hits.

We recommend to spend at least two days at Oktoberfest.

In that way you can dedicate one day to drinking the one liter beers in one of the Oktoberfest tents or beer gardens and then spend the other day strolling around at the festival grounds outside the beer tents enjoying fairy wheels, food stalls, roller coasters and much more.

But it is up to you, personally we like to spend a lot more than just two days at Oktoberfest.

Especially beer lovers will not regret spending as many days as possible at Oktoberfest  :-)
