Germany

Germany has rich culture tradition and beautiful landscapes. The famous Oktoberfest can be experienced starting in September through October. For those traveling in the Christmas season, be sure to stop by Kris Kringle Mart. Only hours away from Munich are resorts in Germany and ski areas are best found at the Bavarian Alps.

Default Newbie booking oktoberfest trip

Hello
I and a couple friends want to get a trip to Oktoberfest together for 2008. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on where to stay and how early we need to get hotel reservations and flights. Thanks

German Oktoberfest has evolved over the years into the largest festival in the world with over six million visitors visiting each year. It can be hard to find a hotel room in Munich during Oktoberfest in September or October, I would recommend booking in July/August, If you haven't booked by October it's still possible to find a room; sniff out hotels in nearby cities: Augsburg, Dachau, Freisling, and Erding are good bets. Take a look at this link Hotels in Munich and here you can find the prices of flights and book online Airlines to Germany.
Have a good time!

Your best bet is contact a local travel agent who can find you the absolute best deals. Booking online may make you feel powerful, but I have had too many clients get to their destination only to find the hotel does not have their on-line reservation. also, a reputable, certified travel agent can find you the best airfare.

how much do you want to spend for your hotel? if you speak some german look for "pension muenchen" (hostel munich) or "hotel muenchen".

book as early as possible!

Hi,

we were also wanting to go down to the oktoberfest, but realised, that it is pretty difficult (unless you have a very large budget) to find something in or around Munich during the Oktoberfest. We finally went with an organised trip with the oktoberfest bus (oktoberfestbus.nl), which was really good value. I recommend you take one of those. The is also Party travels from London with a trip to the octoberfest (pptravel.com) or festival travels (firstfestivaltravel.com). But you have to check it out yourself. Normally the prices are unbeatable, specially considering that your going in a big group and lots of fun people!

Good luck!
