Hotels Near Munich Oktoberfest

Munich Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folk festival, held each autumn on the Theresienwiese in Munich. For around two weeks from late September into October, vast beer tents hosted by historic Bavarian breweries pour Märzen by the stein while brass bands play oompah classics. Expect dirndls and lederhosen, hearty pretzels and roast chicken, colourful parades, fairground rides and a jubilant, tradition-rich atmosphere.

Staying within walking distance lets you beat the queues for popular tents, claim a seat at morning openings and nip back for a breather between sessions. You will avoid late-night scrambles for taxis and crowded trains, and can enjoy family days, the costume parade and the ceremonial tapping of the first keg without clock-watching. Proximity also helps with early starts and rainy Bavarian weather.
