Oktoberfest

[BENIRL]

Anybody been? Anybody been to Munich even? Advice?

[Trumo]

Have been to Munich. Have not been to Oktoberfest. Head out towards the Schwabing district if you get the chance (just a couple of miles or so north of the city centre), which is full of cheaper bars, clubs and restaurants. Loads of students there though, unless that sort of thing bothers you.

[Bjornebye]

I really want to go to this. 

 

We should see if we can do a TLW trip next year. That would be decent.

Went a few years ago with a group of Italians who go every year (because their beer is shit)

 

Literally a top, top few days.

 

They have lots of lovely looking women which is nice.

Both class. The place and the festival. Surprisingly decent food to soak up some of the beer.

Went to Munich last year. Absolutely superb city. The Marienplatz area is great, loads of pubs including Hofbrauhaus. Great beer, great food, well recommended.

I travelled round South Africa with a bid fro Munich some years ago

Superb

South Africa was pretty good, too

Munich, Pfft? I know it like the back of my hand. Been twice in two years. But the thing is you don't have to go to the Octoberfest for a boss time, it's too busy for me. I'd rather have the bierkellers and the restaurants. Great place.

I went a 3 years ago and spent most of my time in the Hofbrauhaus. There and the strippers because my wife was hammered and told me she'd never seen them before. I obliged naturally.

[s(k)aturation]

Yes, it was superb.

German food and sense of humour a highlight. (Why they're maligned for both is a mystery to me.)

Great beer a given.

 

Spent one afternoon drinking in the Hofbrauhaus with a couple of great old blokes in full traditional lederhausen.

They couldn't speak a word of English, nor we of German... but one of the funniest afternoons of my life.

Unlike northern Germany, English is not always taught in schools so less people are fluent. The Hofbrauhaus has reserved seating and their metal tankards are kept in cages behind the seats as some old guys almost live in the pub (good life eh!). Germany has a reputation as being unfriendly but it's a place I always feel comfortable in and have been eight times in nine years. I could easily move there without any problems. It's an incredible place.

Been a few times for the Oktoberfest had my 50th there fabulous place would certainty recommend Munich as a city, if I ever won any money I would certainly have a place there The Germans are very friendly as well

[Section_31]

Would love to go. Have been the Stuttgart one and that was shite.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Pig, I've never found them unfriendly either. Germans are some of the most hospitable folk around. My best friend when I was growing up was a German and all his family were German. I spend almost as much time at their house as I did my own.
