Publisher's Synopsis
Oktoberfest is just about the closest thing to Heaven on Earth -- if you know what you're doing. Meticulously organized and mindbogglingly fun, the world's biggest beer fest can fill even a hardened cynic with the wonder and awe of a child at Disney. But in order to have a truly epic time, you need the knowledge and experience of a Bavarian, which is why you need to read this book.
We cover all the essentials, from deciding when to come to Munich and how to put together a lederhosen or dirndl outfit that will wow, to understanding the history and culture of the festival and creating a plan that will squeeze the most fun from your limited time and budget (thus avoiding common rookie mistakes).
We have tips for singles looking to mingle, parents needing to entertain kids as well as themselves, wine lovers (yes, there are tents for that!), foodies, history buffs, LGBT+ travelers and more. Learn which beer tent is your perfect fit, what makes Munich beer so special and where exactly a teenage Albert Einstein may have had his lightbulb moment.
So, are you ready for an epic Oktoberfest, whether you're coming to Munich this fall or simply looking to become the world's best armchair Bavarian? Then this book is for you. Prost!
