Question

Berlin? Hamburg? Or is there somewhere else that's better?

There is only one authentic Oktoberfest: In Munich. All others are only copies!

Answer 2

München (Munich). Take in a football match or two as well (Bayern/TS1860)

Answer 3

Munchen...Hofbrauhaus!

Answer 4

Munich is by far the best place.If you want to go over there for Oktoberfest make sure you go in mid to late September.that's when Oktoberfest is, in October they come-out with all the new beer, September is the celebration of drinking up all the old beer.its a tradition, all the beer nowadays is fresh but that's why Oktoberfest was founded.

Answer 5

munich

Answer 6

Muinch is the place to be... book early though..

Answer 7

Did you mean to say; 'Where is the best place in Germany for a fest in October?', Then Stuttgart(southern Germany) and Hamburg(northern Germany) would be 2 of your best bets. However in the fall there are 100's of fests all over Germany. For example the wine fests in the Rhein/Main area are really wonderful.

NOW, if you meant 'Oktober Fest' THE Only Place to REALLY do that is in Munich in Bavaria - September 22nd thru October 7th. Check out www.oktoberfest.de(it can be read in English) for more info. You can look up my answers for Oktober Fest to get info on finding a hotel room, a seat in one of the tents, what to wear, etc.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Answer 8

Munich is the only one place celebrate every single year Oktoberfest....

Answer 9

Munich is the place to be.  HOWEVER - you need reservations at a tent BEFORE you go!  Tent is a little decieving - They hold as many as 12,000 people!  Don't even THINK of driving into the stadt.  Instead, you should find a guesthouse (gasthof) outside the ctiy and take the train (DB) or the local bus into the event centre.  For God's sake HAVE FUN!

Answer 10

There is nowhere but Munich to go for the real thing.  That is where it started and it doesn't get any better than that.  You are missing out if you skip München and Bavaria..

A city of 1.3 million people gets hundreds of thousands of people there and I promise you it is a blast!   The Polizei keep things from getting totally out of hand, but you will be amazed, it is a huge carnival, fair, good time all in one.  It's on the parade grounds near the Hauptbahnhof (the main train station for Munich) and it is just awesome.

The state of Baden -Wurttemburg has some fests also, but nothing, I mean nothing comes close to this one.

Answer 11

My suggestion is pick a smaller town in Austria instead.  Perhaps Innsbruck?  Better food in my opinion.

Answer 12

Munich! Go to Frankfurt too.....:)
