For Oktoberfest come prepared!
The cost of a stein of Beer is about € 7.50 (£ 5.50) - 1 litre. Don't steal steins; buy them in the souvenir shop, or you could be staying overnight with Hans and Fritz.
Pork knuckles (schweinshaxen) and Roast Chickens (hendl) are a big part of the Oktoberfest. About £10 per serve. Girls could share with a friend.
Tips are good if you want to get served again. Round up to at least to the higher Euro. Example € 7.50 Stein, give them € 8.
Girls need approx £ 30 per day for food, beer and a ride or two. Guys need £60 minimum for a good day at the Beerfest.
Have a central meeting spot for your entire group, as you are bound to loose part of your someone.
All Bedding supplied. No sleeping bags or towels are needed at the Chalet. Laundry is also available.
A weather check is best made a few days before you leave. Be aware weather has ranged from 35 degrees to sleet and snow in the past years
Wear the right clothes. Oktoberfest tents are hot and sweaty. You will not be allowed to take your shirt off
Good footwear is best to avoid broken glass and big boots standing on your toes.
Bags or backpacks are good for stashing cameras and jumpers. Be aware that people steal these.
Fights will result in you being kicked out or arrested.
Cash machines are most of the time empty.
Look after your wallets, keys and phones!!!
