7Munich, Germany: Oktoberfest Revelry
October is synonymous with Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. The world’s largest beer festival, which usually begins in late September and runs through the first weekend of October, is a celebration of Bavarian culture, beer, food, and camaraderie. Locals and visitors alike don traditional lederhosen and dirndls, raising steins of beer in massive tents while enjoying traditional German music, pretzels, sausages, and more.
Beyond the festivities, Munich itself is a city of art, history, and beautiful architecture. Visit the Marienplatz, the grand Neuschwanstein Castle, or take a relaxing stroll through the Englischer Garten, one of the largest urban parks in the world.
