Oktoberfest is Calling!

Oktoberfest is Calling!

With an average of six million visitors each year, it’s no surprise that Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folk festival.

Booking.com, the global leader in connecting travellers with the widest choice of incredible places to stay, shares their top picks during Oktoberfest. Based in Munich Germany, it is the number one destination for beer lovers, braided beauties, lederhosen, colourful parades, fairground rides and giant pretzels.

This year the festival spans over two weeks from the 17th September to 3rd October and is held in a beautiful meadow just outside of Munich’s city centre (as well as celebrated throughout the city). The popularity of Oktoberfest has grown worldwide with Booking.com listing Americans, Chinese and Australians as some of the top nationalities that booked accommodations in Munich during last year’s festival. It’s no surprise the top endorsements for Munich include beer, sightseeing and shopping, but worth noting that if you can’t make it to the festival, other top destinations endorsed for beer include Andechs in Germany, Humpolec in Czech Republic and Savignone in Italy.
