Every October, Munich hosts the Oktoberfest beer festival. Many cities in Germany have beer festivals, butMunich’s is thelargest, mostattended, and most lively. If you’re in Munich in October, you must visit the Oktoberfest. I took a train from Füssen to Munich at 8:15 AM. The journey took 1.5 hours. At every stop along the way, many people boarded, and the train quickly became crowdedwith Germans.
Everyone had smiling faces, many were dressed in traditional attire, holding beer bottles. There were many groups of young people, as well as entire families and couples.After leaving the train station, you don’t need to look for directions—just follow the crowd, and you’ll reach the Oktoberfest grounds. Essentially, Oktoberfest is a huge food and drink celebration, featuring numerous beer tents operated by different breweries. Each tent is big and beautifully decorated. I
visited at least ten beer tents.
Inside the beer tents, there were many guests, each holding a large glass of beer, either half a liter or one liter. There was also a variety of meats and German sauerkraut.
Outside the tents, there were stalls selling German pastries and handmade crafts.
There were also horse-drawn carriages loaded with beer barrels.
So many pork knuckles and roasted chickens. We had lunch at one of the beer tents.
We left the Oktoberfest grounds only after eating and drinking our fill.
