Over the past decade, the Oktoberfest has attracted an average of around six million visitors a year, who between them consume almost seven million litres of beer and munch their way through thousands of grilled sausages, chickens, giant pretzels and – for those really wanting to soak it all up – wild oxen.
The original Oktoberfest in October 1810 was held in honour of the wedding between Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen.
The only beer served comes from Munich breweries such as the Augustiner, Paulaner and Spaten. The most popular variation is the lager-like Helles. The cost of a beer? Brace yourselves because the cheapest beer this year will be €10.60 (£9.34) per litre. The most expensive is likely to set you back €10.95 (£9.64 per litre).
There is this subtle and yet strong connection between the festival and the interior architecture and you can really get inspired in the festival.
The costumes are an essential part of the festival and the color combinations add a special personality to the event.
If you don’t like drinking beer, Oktoberfest is probably not for you.
