Experience It! Octoberfest
Local cuisine. Traditional costumes. Amusement rides. Live music. Travelers from all over the world. Millions of beer liters. Find all of this and more at Munich’s Oktoberfest – a folk festival from the 1800s that has inspired countless renditions worldwide. The celebration lasts for 3 weeks, starting in the middle of September and ending on the first Sunday of October. Beer tents line the festival, each containing the capacity for thousands of visitors. Only beer brewed in Munich can be served at the festival, and it must meet strict criteria outlined in the Reinheitsgebot. The Bavarian gathering was originally established to celebrate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese but has evolved over time to include the celebration of local agriculture as well.

The overall activity level of this tour is a level 3. This means you’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days with early mornings or late nights balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
