“All the best tips on how to enjoy an affordable trip to Munich’s<\/a> Oktoberfest!<\/em><\/p>\n

Where can you find cheap accommodation in Munich<\/strong>? How can you enjoy Oktoberfest without breaking the bank? What can do you in Munich<\/strong> between visits to Oktoberfest? Expedia has all the best advice on how to enjoy Oktoberfest on a shoestring. You can also check out all of our Oktoberfest deals<\/a>. Cheers!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

### Travelling to Munich’s Oktoberfest on a budget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travel by coach. From Paris, for example, you can travel overnight and enjoy a cheap weekend at Oktoberfest.<\/strong> Returns from \u20ac60.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a<\/strong> cheap flight to Munich<\/strong>. Set off from London, Manchester or Birmingham and take advantage of some of the best prices. Think about booking your trip to Munich<\/a> as soon as possible to enjoy Expedia’s best offers on flights+hotels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Try carpooling. Sociable and affordable, carpooling to Munich is an excellent way to enjoy Oktoberfest on a budget.<\/strong> It should take about 8 hours from Paris or Lyon and the journey costs about \u20ac50.<\/p>\n

You can also enjoy discounts on public transport. Once in Munich, buy a day ticket (\u20ac6.60) or a 3-day ticket (\u20ac16.50<\/em>). You can access Munich’s entire public transport system at minimal cost – handy if you want to enjoy the party in the city centre before heading to your cheap hotel in Munich<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

### Where to stay during Oktoberfest without breaking the bank<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’d recommend booking a hotel in the centre of Munich<\/a> at least 3 months in advance<\/strong> to take advantage of the best rates.<\/p>\n

For even lower prices, choose accommodation outside Munich. Public transport is excellent in Germany, so why not look for a cheap hotel in Bavaria<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Alternatively, spend the night in one of Munich’s youth hostels<\/a> for even bigger savings!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

### Eating on a budget in Munich during Oktoberfest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stop off at a sausage stand away from Oktoberfest’s site, where food is usually less expensive. It’s a great opportunity to try the famous Weisswurst,<\/em> a local white sausage. Served with a pretzel and delicious sweet mustard, they’re sold for \u20ac3-\u20ac4 at stalls all over the city!<\/p>\n

Make a few sandwiches to enjoy before arriving on site! Unfortunately, rucksacks aren’t allowed at Oktoberfest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you get hungry, you can share half a roast chicken with your friends for around \u20ac8. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the delicious giant pretzels and marinated grilled mackerel (steckerlfisch<\/em>) either.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

### Try some cheap beer during Oktoberfest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take the opportunity to sit down at a table in one of the city’s many Biergarten<\/em> (beer gardens). Best of all? Beers are cheaper here than they are at Oktoberfest, at roughly<\/strong> \u20ac7.50 a litre, compared to \u20ac10<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a breath of fresh air in the Englisher Garten<\/em>, which is even bigger than New York’s Central Park, right in the heart of Munich.<\/p>\n

### Buy your costume for Oktoberfest in advance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buy your traditional costume online ahead of the festival! Budget about \u20ac20 for the famous Dirndl<\/em> (for women) and \u20ac30 for the traditional outfit for men.<\/p>\n

Buy now and save yourself a small fortune when you get there!<\/p>\n

### Admire the breweries’ parade during Oktoberfest<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first day kicks off with the breweries’ parade<\/strong>, the famous Festzug<\/em> which starts in Munich and heads towards Theresienwiese, where Oktoberfest is held. This free event is a great opportunity to admire the superb horses and carriages, traditional costumes and floral floats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

### Watch the costume parade and enjoy the brass band concert<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first two Sundays of Oktoberfest play host to two of its most popular activities, the costume parade and open-air concert!<\/p>\n

Watch the magnificent costume parade<\/strong> on the first Sunday of Oktoberfest which winds its way through all the streets in central Munich.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the second Sunday morning, a traditional brass band concert<\/strong> is held in front of the statue of Bavaria. Don’t miss this unique event!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

### Stroll around Oktoberfest’s fairs<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for another way to enjoy Oktoberfest without spending too much money, why not take a stroll around the impressive agricultural fair? If you’re with family or friends, try out the rides of Europe’s largest funfair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And remember: Tuesdays are “family days”! The perfect opportunity to enjoy all of the festival’s exciting attractions at discounted prices.<\/p>\n
