An ultimate celebration for fans of beer, Theresienwiese's Oktoberfest is known by locals as the "Wies'n" after the meadow where it is held. It's the biggest festival in the world and you really have to be there to believe it!

Each year, some six million visitors fill the Munich breweries' festival tents, downing roughly six million litres of beer and devouring 300,000 pork sausages, 600,000 roast chickens and 80 oxen. Try to find a tent which suits your style, as the individual tents' styles and audiences vary widely.

Seekers of the lively but more refined pleasures of the Bavarians (many decked out in full folk costume) should check out the Augustiner, Ochsenbraterei (ox-roasting) or Fischer-Vroni tents.

Oktoberfest offers much more than a gigantic beer bust. It begins on Saturday with a parade of the tent concessionaires, riding in brewery wagons pulled by magnificent draught horses.
