Key dateTips for visitors
Book tent reservations months in advance
Wear a Dirndl or Lederhosen – better chances of a seat
Public transport is crowded – a private taxi is the most comfortable option
Bring cash – many tents prefer cash
Come early – before noon for the best chance of a table
Book a hotel 6–12 months ahead – Munich sells out during the Wiesn
History of the Oktoberfest
The first Oktoberfest was held on 17 October 1810 to celebrate the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. The fields were named "Theresienwiese" in her honour.
The first fairground attractions appeared – carousels and swings made the festival more entertaining for visitors.
Beer stalls became large beer tents holding thousands of visitors – the beginning of the Oktoberfest we know today.
Munich's mayor Thomas Wimmer tapped the first barrel for the first time. Since then the mayor calls "O'zapft is!" and the festival begins.
The Oktoberfest becomes a global brand: visitors from over 200 nations travel to Munich every year and generate more than €1.3 billion for the city's economy.
