The folk festival stretches just over two weeks from late September to early October attracting, on average, six million visitors each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the festival\u2019s association with beer consumption is outrageously evident (7.5 million litres of beer were consumed for the 2018 event), it does not have to be just about drinking. Whilst it might be a more inclusive, enjoyable experience if you are a beer-drinker, Oktoberfest is also attractive as an event that celebrates German culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since the marriage of Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen on October 12 1810, and the large festival that followed, the occasion has marked a great opportunity for visitors to learn about Bavaria, Munich and the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Situ Serviced Apartments<\/a>, here are four important things to consider, remember and look out for at Oktoberfest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-base-3-background-color has-background\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 <\/strong>| <strong>Beer Tent After Beer Tent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"276\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/obf2.jpg\" alt=\"Packed-out Marquee at Oktoberfest.

Courtesy of www.muenchen.de.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Oktoberfest grows in size each year to accommodate such a large following. At this year\u2019s event, there are 38 tents altogether, 17 large and 21 small. The idea behind having so many different sites is to create an experience that can, ultimately, cater for anyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most popular large tents are the; Zur Sch\u00f6nheitsk\u00f6nigin, Armbrustsch\u00fctzenzelt, Fischer-Vroni and Augustiner Festhalle. Each comes with their form of own entertainment, type of beer served, cooked food on offer and inside and outside areas.<br><br>Whilst the larger tents are dedicated predominantly to (you guessed it) drinking beer and dancing to folk music, the smaller stands sell any type of German cuisine that you could think of. Wine, doughnuts, coffee, fish, oxen, veal, cake, sausages, chicken, dumplings, goose, duck, ham, ice cream, pretzels, breakfast dishes, vegetarian dishes, you name it, it is all there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out more about all the tents on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oktoberfest.de\/en\/beer-tents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">offer at Oktoberfest this year<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-base-3-background-color has-background\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2 | Managing the Costs <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-base-3-background-color has-background\"><\/pre>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"306\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/obf4-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pouring beer - october fest\" class=\"wp-image-12155 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/obf4-1-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/obf4-1-1-300x121.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 760px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 760\/306;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Courtesy of www.oktoberfest.de.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It is safe to say that there is no fear of beer running low at Oktoberfest. In fact, the beer pump system, implemented across tents throughout the festival, is capable of pouring fifteen beers every minute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, with so much on offer across this fest, it is important to keep expenses in order. It is first good to know though that entry into Oktoberfest and all of the beer tents are free. You do not even need a reservation to get in amongst the liveliness of each tent. There are enough dedicated areas to accommodate those who have not booked out tables. Information on what to do if you wish to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oktoberfest.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make a reservation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convenience and low prices are surprising for an event of this size. Festival-goers should expect though to pay around \u00a310 (\u20ac12-13) for a beer. These are, however, served in litre glasses called \u2018Ma\u00df\u2019, which can hold more than two pints of beer and provide you with as much as possible for your money. Just be sure to also have some change on you, as tipping servers is customary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A decent meal, on the other hand, will end up costing you around \u00a312 (\u20ac13-15), whilst smaller snack foods, such as sandwiches, sausage rolls or baked products, are priced at around \u00a34 (\u20ac5). To avoid falling victim to ATM charges in a bid to fuel your experience, bring the amount of the money in cash that you are willing to spend.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-base-3-background-color has-background\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 | Looking the Part<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-base-3-background-color has-background\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge aspect of Oktoberfest, which makes the festival so distinctive, is the traditional outfits. Locals and the vast majority of visiting tourists parade around the festival in their German lederhosen and dirndls to help create a hub of national culture and community.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"278\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/obf3-2.jpg\" alt=\"Festival Outfits\" class=\"wp-image-12221 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/obf3-2.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/obf3-2-300x139.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 598px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 598\/278;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Looking the part at Oktoberfest.

Unsurprisingly, however, the more authentic, the more expensive they are likely to be. Otherwise, there are always alternatives. You could wear a simple trachten shirt, give yourself a Bavarian hairstyle or even just embrace wearing normal attire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you decide, there is little pressure to dress in a certain way. Yet, embracing a range of folk traditions, such as dressing up, is a great way to get the most out of such a unique festival. After all, 90% of those in attendance will be Germans and finding one without traditional outfits on will be tough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself getting more into the spirit of the event as time goes by, you can always try renting some German garments at stalls across the festival before they are all gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-base-3-background-color has-background\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4 | Home Away From Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-base-3-background-color has-background\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/serviced-apartments\/germany\/munich\/gorresstrasse-apartment?placeid=ChIJ2V-Mo_l1nkcRfZixfUq4DAE&amp;location=440266&amp;beds=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"566\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1553527400-1-1024x566.jpeg\" alt=\"Lounge Area Munich Serviced Apartment\" class=\"wp-image-2702 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1553527400-1-1024x566.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1553527400-1-300x166.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1553527400-1-768x425.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1553527400-1-960x531.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1553527400-1-260x144.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1553527400-1.jpeg 1192w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/566;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Gorresstrasse Serviced Apartment, Munich. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key criteria of any trip, abroad or domestic, is choosing the right place to stay.

The festival&#8217;s integration into society has allowed the local people to show off their country&#8217;s roots and its welcoming attitude towards overseas visitors makes the event, rightly, one of the world&#8217;s most recognised and highly valued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Oktoberfest is well worth a visit as an experience unlike any other in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre
