Munich also offers quite something when it comes to culinary delights. Famous and popular are of course the Bavarian beer gardens and the Hofbräuhaus beer hall. From Japanese to Italian restaurant – the range is vast.
One of Munich’s most famous attractions is the Oktoberfest – the world’s biggest funfair. Over 6 million visitors from around the world come to the Oktoberfest every year. Locally also called the Wiesn, the Oktoberfest has been staged on Theresienwiese in the centre of Munich since 1810. All famous Munich breweries like Paulaner, Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Hofbräu and Löwenbräu are present at the Wiesn with their own huge beer tents. Visitors can choose between 14 large and 15 smaller tents. Very famous and popular are Käfer Wiesn-Schenke, Hypodrom and Kufflers Weinzelt (wine tent), which are also frequented by many VIP guests.
A total of up to 144 catering outlets serve culinary delights at the Oktoberfest. Around 200 fairground enterprises, including approx. 80 fun rides, provide entertainment for visitors of the fair. The 186th Oktoberfest takes place from 21 September to 6 October 2019. Wearing dirndl dress and lederhosen is almost mandatory.
The Munich breweries brew a special beer for the Oktoberfest. Served in a special stein, a ‘Maß’, this beer must have an original gravity of at least 13.5%. Many Bavarian specialities are served during the Oktoberfest, including classic Wiesn treats like grilled chicken, knuckles, duck as well as Munich weisswurst (veal sausage), pretzels and all kinds of dumplings. Obatzda, a savoury cheese spread, is also a typical Bavarian speciality.
