Travel Guide to the Oktoberfest, München | The Wiesn | Biggest Beer Festival of the World | 2018

"The Oktoberfest is one of the biggest events that takes place in Munich, Germany, attracting around 6 million people from all corners of the world.. From the end of September to the beginning of October, for around 2.5 weeks, you can hear the sounds of beer mugs clinking within the famous beer tents such as Augustiner and Paulaner, the shrieks of delight from those taking a spin on the numerous adrenaline-pumping rides, and of course the sizzle of the roasted delights coming from the food stalls. It is definitely recommended for you to try out some of the regional highlights which include the authentic grilled "fish on a stick" from Vroni-Fisch, as well as the crispy skin chicken called Hendl. You will find a myriad of foods to taste, both savoury and sweet.As for the beer, take part in guzzling down some of the regions best and contributing to the 6.9 million litres of beer being served! Did you know that, that is enough to fill two and three-fourths Olympic size swimming pools? Absolutely mind-blowing! 

Be prepared to make your reservations well in advance as the beer tent queues are extremely long and the insides packed. Whether it be during the day time or when the stars are out, the tents are the most hot and happening places. Families and friends come together to celebrate, eat warm meals, dance to Bavarian folk tunes and drink the famous regional beers.

At the Oktoberfest, it is also a time to show off the traditional clothing of Bavaria. Men are handsomely dressed in their lederhosen while the women look stunning in their dirndl. Different patterns, colours, textures and sizes are to be seen, making the festival even more vibrant. These men and women come together to honour the traditions that started when Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12th October 1810. To commemorate this harmonious union, the citizens had celebrated on the Theresienwiese ("Theresa's fields"), toasting to a bright and prosperous future - a tradition which has lasted until today and will continue to play an important role in the lives of Bavarians.If you are interested in finding out more about these festivities, then click on the links below, where I, Surya Sridhar, take you through the Opening Day Parade in Part 1 as well as the Oktoberfest specifics in Part 2.

Innsbruck lies in the wide Inn Valley at the intersection of two important traffic routes between Germany and Italy and between Vienna and Switzerland. One of Austria's most popular year-round vacation destinations, Innsbruck has retained its medieval Old Town with its narrow, twisting streets and tall houses in Late Gothic style. Most of its popular attractions are clustered close to the Old Town, whose charming narrow streets provide tourists plenty of things to see and do.

Beware of:Thugs and Pick Pockets

Innsbruck has everything a lively, vibrant city needs, and yet it is just a ten-minute journey into the high mountains which dominate the skyline.

We used the Nordkettenbahnen from the congress station to go up to the top of Hafelekar range.
It was convenient and easy to use this service and gave us access to amazing, breathtaking views. We visited at the end of ski season and it was still quite busy. Difficult for me as I get a little claustrophobic so have no idea how bad it would be in peak season, however it was manageable and completely worth it. You can get out at each stop it you need to.The lift offers access to the alpen zoo and other sites to see.
Got one free trip to the top using the Innsbruck card.

Do you only have one day? This is still enough to experience the main hotspots in Innsbruck. First pick up an Innsbruck Card and then let the exciting adventures in the Capital of the Alps begin. The following highlights shouldn’t be missed: 

• Explore the old town and Maria Theresien Street: the Golden Roof, Kaufhaus Tyrol shopping centre, the          Imperial Gardens, etc.

• City Tower (viewpoint)

• The Imperial Palace & Court Church

• Lunch on the Nordkette mountain range

• Alpine Zoo visit on the way back into town

Tip: The Innsbruck Card is valid for 24 hours. If it’s activated at 10 am, it can be used until 10 am on the following day. Return trips are free of charge on included forms of public transport and on the “Sightseer” – Innsbruck’s hop-on hop-off bus.

The BMW Museum in Munich is a must for all car lovers. Anyone who is interested in cars, especially German manufacturers, should plan this visit in his trip to Bavaria. 

It was opened in 1972 and houses exhibitions about the history of the carmaker BMW. 

The building, designed by the architect Karl Schwanzer, can be recognized from afar by its characteristic architecture. In Munich it is called because of its form as "salad bowl" or "white sausage kettle".

In the collection of the museum impressed above all the exhibited cars, under which both the oldest, as well as the latest BMW models can be found. The old cars are particularly intriguing because of their old-fashioned appearance and the new cars because of their electronics and the applied technological innovations. 

In addition to this motor show, the museum also offers a cinema where documentary films about the history and strong development of the company are shown.
